“Great location for all of the family to meet up, the accomodation is very clean,spacious and comfort” The Wilderness was a fantastic holiday for us all. There was plenty of room for all fifthteen of us to either sit talk and relax in one room with a log fire going and a glass of wine or two!, or in another room watch TV on a large wide flat screen. The rooms were spacious and very clean and comfortable. The kitchen was a delight to cook in, it had everything you would need to cater for fifthteen hungry people ( but watch out for the microwave it's too high up).We will be going back. Thank you very much indeed for a great relaxing time.

“The perfect place for friends and family to gather in comfort” Gorgeous house in lovely surroundings, our group had almost as many children as adults so it was essential to us that there was enough room to run around without getting under each others' feet. The mornings were spent in the huge garden, afternoon chilling reading papers whilst children played, and evening round the log fire playing card games - a perfect weekend.
