About the host

Hosted by JO GOSSETT

Host profile image
We run the property together year round. It operates as a boutique bed and breakfast for part of the year and self catered holiday house the rest of the year. We renovated the house ourselves, both sympathetically and with an eclectic style. We hope you enjoy the house as much as we do.

Why they chose this property

This is our second property in this area. It has so much to offer if you like an outdoors life style. Cycling, walking, hiking, wild swimming, rock climbing, horse riding. we never tire of this area and every season brings a new view. When we found this house it took us a year to buy it but we persevered as it really is special.

What makes this property unique

Parts of the house were built in 1442 and it offers some gorgeous features. Plenty of wood and granite and amazing fireplaces. The grounds offer un interrupted views of hills and woodland. They have been tiered to offer lawns and field, river and views. Enjoy a game of pétanque or just sitting at the large table taking it in.
