  • "A lovely wooden lodge."

    Inthe middle of a quiet wooded area. Lots of wildlife which comes right up to the patio doors. Need a car as a long walk to the village.

  • "Location was great & incredible wildlife."

    House itself was dirty, lot of mould and very musty smell which is still lingering in all our clothes after we have left. We spent almost 5 of the 7 days with inadequate or no hot water supply.

    We were very sorry to read your comments. No other guests have ever mentioned a smell and previous comments have included that the cleanliness of Rocksite was second to none. However, we will arrange an extra deep clean following your comment. We did immediately respond to you when you reported the water issues, and did follow up to check with you that the problem was resolved. Property Owner

  • "The Rocksite is a wonderful place to stay."

    The cabin is very well equipped and has loads of room. The birds and animals who visited the site while we were there were amazing to witness. We truly had a magical stay and would highly recommend others to book for this site.

  • "This was our second time here at Rocksite and it certainly will not be the last!"

    It was the most relaxing and calm 3 nights and the perfect location. We spent most of our afternoons bird spotting and we also got to sit right at the doors as the deer came up onto the patio area. Spending our nights watching TV with the wood fire burning. We have even recommended Rocksite to friends and we hope to all plan a trip here soon.

  • "Rocksite was a lovely place to stay."

    We loved it particularly for the abundant wildlife - Red Squirrels, Fallow Deer, Rabbits and we also caught a Pine Marten and Wildcat/Tabby cross in the garden on our trail camera. We saw 29 species of birds within the grounds. The house was fairly clean and fairly comfortable. We had to buy a can opener as we could not make the supplied one work. The Fallow Deer get onto the flat roof at night so there is a certain amount of noise. That said, we loved the place and wouldn't hesitate to stay again.

  • "I have Autism and I'm sensitive to electrical sounds."

    I found the peace and quiet at Rocksite very calming. The abundance of wildlife was amazing; the deer can right up to the patio, along with pheasant and red squirrels. The cleanliness of Rocksite was second to none. I was thoroughly impressed with everything about this holiday cabin and will definitely use it again. I also have a physical disability and found moving around the property very easy as it is all on one floor. I would highly recommended this property!

  • "Fantastic property."

    Much more spacious than the pictures suggest and loads of storage space too. Incredible location right in the woods with beautiful views and lots of wildlife. Highly recommended and excellent value.

  • "We had a fantastic time at Rocksite."

    The house was very spacious and very comfortable. The log burner was great! But the absolutely best thing was all the wildlife coming to thd doorstep: deers, squerels, various birds... Just wonderful! The place is also very good for some wider exploration, so much to see within an hour drive. Highly recommended!

  • "We had a fabulous stay at Rocksite!"

    !! The setting in the woods is just perfect and so peaceful. The wildlife, especially the red squirrels, deer and numerous birds that visited constantly were a joy to watch up close. The lodge is very comfortable, a lot bigger than we thought it would be, with amazing walks from the door. The weather was pretty kind to us although we didn't get to use the dark sky telescope. The owners were very helpful with lots of information and with any questions we had. We would not hesitate to recommend Rocksite and cannot wait to return.
