Excellent little cottage-a gem of a find. Cute and cosy with everything we needed for a few days away. Even the teenager approved!

My friend and I had a lovely stay. The hosts were super kind and friendly. All the animals were super nice. And the cottage was very cute and quaint. We loved walking around Saintfield and trying all the local shops! We would definitely stay here again!

Wonderful little jewel in the country! A great place to enjoy some quiet time surrounded by the animals on the farm. Peaceful walks through the trees….so relaxing.
