This really is the perfect place for a break, the swimming pool is bigger than it looks and to have exclusive use was great for us, and the sauna was fantastic too.

Overall we enjoyed our stay at Emley View. Whilst the views from the lounge are stunning, the property location is within a small hamlet of dwellings and farm buildings, which is deceptive when viewing on line.
