Wonderful time

The accommodation was better than the pictures give it credit for. The surrounding golf course provided a lovely landscape for activités and of course golf. The facilities easily accounted for larger groups.

Amazing property!

I loved staying at the Scribbly Cottage, especially considering I was able to bring my doggo. Matt was very responsive and accommodating. We admittedly have a loud group and had to pipe down as we found out there was a wedding reception on the estate that got wind of our shenanigans. I felt it was dealt with correctly - just something to keep in mind when you're after a spot in the middle of nowhere to be as loud as you wish ;) The only thing we missed was a shared shower for the bunk bed room, but again - easy solve. Thanks Matt, we had a great time!

Great stay!

Host was very accommodating and responsive to all questions. Provided clear instructions on how to get to Penrose. The place was amazing, clean and spacious. We had a large group of children and adults who thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Close to Glow Worm Glen Walk. Would totally recommend this place to anyone.
