You will find it hard not to keep glancing at the view. With your own private entrance from the courtyard, step inside and you will find a large comfortable living room with access to the rear lawned garden and seating area. The dining hall, with windows to the front and rear, including a feature double height arched window overlooking the garden, is adjacent to the large, well-equipped kitchen, perfect for cooking up a hearty breakfast to start your day.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Hunter House. It was a great location for exploring the surrounding area and a pleasure to return to in the evenings for peace and quiet. We spent every day out and about, exploring, but would have happily spent a day indoors relaxing with the calming reservoir as our backdrop. The house was well equipped and clean. ##### Lauren Homer-Shiels This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Emma Broster Oct 9, 2025 #### Excellent property, reasonably priced and very luxurious.
