Lovely property and we really enjoyed our two week stay in the August heat wave! Lovely spacious and well equipped cottage with and upside down layout (bedrooms on ground floor). This allows the cottage to take best advantage of the massive elevated decking which really is on of the best features of this cottage. Very friendly owners on site who were happy for us to explore the 212 acres of woodland. The access road to property is quite poor in places with significant rutting and pot holes and could potentially damage cars without good ground clearance. On the plus side, because of this remoteness, you get fantastic dark night skies - perfect for stargazing! The setting is beautiful and tranquil but there are a couple of points people should be aware if they are wanting a total escape: 1) there are a few other holiday lets in the vicinity so be aware you could be subject to noisy neighbours. 2) this is a working farm and they produce kiln dried timber. The kiln is adjacent to the decking of Forest View so if the kiln is operational then there will be a low level (and to be fair unobtrusive) background noise....

We travelled with 3 adults and 3 border collies. The cottage was lovely and the decking veranda and gardens were a real treat for the dogs. The owners were very welcoming and available if any problems should have arisen. They did not but it was good to know. Lovely location. Great accommodation. Fab stay. I would recommend to anyone with dogs with walks from the doorstep and lots of dog friendly beaches within 50 min drive. The garden is secure but not escape proof if you have a determined fur baby. ...

The ideal retreat for dogs. We have 2 dogs, a German Shepherd and a St Bernard and we are always nervous of going places with them as not everyone likes big dogs, but this property was spacious enough for them and Sam, the owner, made us all feel welcome and made it clear to us that we could wander anywhere on his woodland and the dogs did not need to be kept on a lead, which was great fun for the dogs and a relief for us. Please note when you venture off his land dogs should go on a lead and also if by any fields with sheep in. The woodland is vast so you don't need to go off his land really, there is so much to explore. Wellies or good walking boots are a must, as are dog towels, it is muddy. The outside balcony area for this cottage is such a great space, we sat outside most days as the dogs had to be washed off after every walk so it was better to have them outside drying off in a clean area rather than having wet dog in the house. Our holiday was in October but the weather was still mild and sunny most days....
