We was lucky to have a clear night so seeing all the stars at night was amazing also spotted deers in the morning. Very pleased with our stay

Group trip
We had a wonderful stay at Rocombe Retreat surrounded by a plethora of birds, sheep, cattle and the luling of running water into the lake.
Eliott was very helpful,-not only with practical advice on site but was also able to sign post us to local attractions. The farmer (sorry we forgot his name).was very accommodating and gave us a snapshot of his daily life.
We were very fortunate to see the weighing in from the fishing competition that took place on site. Truly amazing fishermen in the area!
It really felt like home away from home. We will definetley recommend and will visit again.
