What guests are saying
We have had a great few nights stay at John's folly.
Alana the owner was very helpful in assisting us to find good walks for the dog and was really knowledgeable about the area. The cabin is well equipped and the view out of the windows was spectacular! The only difficulty we had was it was a very hot few days and the sun was directly on the front of the lodge and we had no way to cool it down as there are no curtains or blinds! The temperature was very high at times and we struggled to try to keep ourselves cool! Perhaps an idea to invest in some curtains or blindsWe would however still recommend this cabin .
A lovely cabin with fabulous views.
Alana the owner has thought of everything from the well equipped kitchen to a quiet rainy night in with a selection of dvds! We was fortunate enough to have blue skies throughout our stay so a chair, a beer and simply looking at the views was our entertainment. The garden could do with a little makeover so guests can use the grassed area. Thank you Alana for our lovely cosy stay Colin, Tracy and Bear xxx
Had a lovely week at John's Folly spoilt only by the unseasonable weather.
the accommodation was comfortable and clean and very cosy. Walks on your doorstep so great for dog owners with a good selection of dog friendly pubs to walk too. Would recommend the Spring Rock for great food. Stunning views from the property.
