The steep track can be daunting on the first approach but then adds to the fun of the holiday and the stunning view from the top is well worth it!

The cottage has everything you need for a lovely stay, fully equipped kitchen and the hot tub was amazing, especially at night with all the lights. The path way to the cottage is very rural and the grass growing on the road needs trimming. The views are amazing and Lucy was very helpful with all our needs.

If you like a hot tub and you like a view, Red Kites Retreat delivers! It takes a few days to get used to the approach to the house (not your average driveway!) but you can't fault the location. Fabulous space for 3 friends to relax and unwind.
