What an amazing property. Really great experience having a week here. From waking up and watching the bunnies, sheep, calfs and pheasants wandering around right outside the windows, to cooking some epic meals on the top quality appliances, we really struggled to want to leave the cottage. It is in a great location for lots of amazing walks and it's specific location if just superb! We will certainly be returning! I will say previous reviews are right about the gates and the master bedroom curtains and the owners really do need to sort the curtains out (rather than just telling people to be careful with them, they need a more heavy duty pole with traditional metal rings and the rods to aid closing them need to be longer, we never managed to fully close them!)

This architect-designed home is truly a 'Grand Design' masterpiece. The house itself is stunning, a perfect blend of modern aesthetics and comfortable living. But it's the setting that elevates this stay to an unforgettable experience.

Situated on a working farm, we were treated to an ever-changing tapestry of breathtaking scenery. Sunrises painted the landscape in vibrant hues, while misty mornings brought a sense of quiet wonder. We even befriended some of the local residents: Shawn the Sheep, always eager for a chat (and a bit of a grumble about the farmer locking the gate to the lower field!), the adorable baby doe grazing at dawn, and the inquisitive Wills the Weasel peeking through the window. And who could forget Gandolf the Grouse -- named so because they’re just not the brightest, Rocky the Rabbit, and his countless companions, providing endless entertainment.

The absence of a TV was a blessing in disguise. It allowed us to fully immerse ourselves in the natural world and appreciate the simple pleasures of life on the farm. And the caretaker is quite wonderful. Finally, a thank you to the farmer for allowing us to crisscross his fields numerous times a day; and pointing us in the right direction on arrival. And the owner, we never met, but thank you for sharing your lovely home.

This is an amazing modern house in a fabulous position high above the Don valley. It was well equipped, and a comprehensive welcome pack awaited us on arrival, plus there was quite a lot of basics in the cupboards as it is a good distance to buy anything forgotten. I only gave it 4 stars instead of five for two reasons. Firstly, the access is very difficult. We don't mind driving on country lanes, but the route up to the cottage was so rough that I was convinced we must be making holes in the underneath of the car. Access is through three sets of gates, which were all derelict, but progressively more so as you got further up the hill. The third gate was held to its post by two ropes, and also hit the ground. To open and close, you had to lift a very heavy gate, not that easy for a 71 year old. The other reason was the lack of soundproofing for the bathrooms. It was ok for us, we were just a couple, but of you were there with friends (there is accommodation for 6), it might entail sharing more than you had bargained for. Having said all that, we really loved the house, the views, the wildlife, and the beds were very comfy.

Fantastic holiday, great accomodation with everything one would need!

What a sublime position. The cabin is gorgeous with all the mod cons - washing machine, dryer, and a safe storage place for our bikes. It was a lovely surprise to have a hamper. We did some biking and then holed up for a few days as Storm Babet unfolded before us. We appreciated the owner messaging us to warn us about it and check that we were all okay. The cabin is super cosy and we had the fire going for much of the time. The bath with a view is sumptuous (avoid times when the farmer drives past in the morning!). We managed to do the track in our 4x4 van. The first gate is fine but the other two could do with mending at some point as they were tricky. Sound-wise you can hear everything in the cabin so fine for us as a family but maybe not so private if you had two families sharing. It shouldn't put you off but it's something to bear in mind. The nearest shop is the Spar and there is a garage. Otherwise, the nearest towns are about 20-30mins away. It's such a beautiful place and we had the best time.
