Lovely Property
We ended up staying in a different property to the one listed and the one we stayed in was perfect for the family. Lots of room, lovely and clean and well located. We were doing the Humpridge track and there was no one staying in-between us, so the owners allowed us to keep our bags there until we returned, which was fabulous. Great place to locate for the Humpridge. Highly recommended.

From the moment we booked this place, the help and service is to a perfection standard!!
These hosts are amazing! I have traveled a lot and used many houses while we are away and this house has to be one of my favourites! The moment we walked in, the fire was on, fresh eggs in kitchen and a little note! So welcoming and the house was beautiful warm and cosy. The beds are comfortable, electric blankets, heaters plus a lovely hot roaring fire for those cold nights... we are so happy we found this house, thank u so much to the owners, we recommend this place highly XX

Interesting and full of character
Lovely house and great host. There were only 3 of us so it wasn’t a massive problem only having 1 toilet but it could be with more people.

Amazing experience
This wonderfully spacious property was tucked away from the street making if feel very private. Kitchen was well appointed and the beds were very comfortable. Would certainly visit there in the future.

Lovely place to stay
We enjoyed our stay at the Sawmillers Rest. It was very comfortable and Paula had left us lots of reading material about the history of the area and the wildlife. If you get a chance, it's interesting to chat to Paula about the work of the Trust running the Humpridge Track.
