Upper Roundhouse Reviews

Dudley
Beautiful location, ideal for a peaceful getaway
Emma
Really lovely accommodation in a great location. Very clean and well-equipped. I particularly enjoyed the window seat views out to the moors.
Sarah
Just perfect Very relaxing and what views!
Eveline
We loved the view from the Upper Roundhouse! It was cool enough, facing east. There are 7 steep granite steps up to the front door (safe to leave unlocked!). The seating area outside is minimal, on gravel, next to the parked car, and had no shade, but we were out most of the time. The owners were friendly (they live next door, as does the old farmer). Birdsong and tractors - idyllic rural! Weââ?¬â?¢d be happy to return.

Amazing views from the sofa. Comfy bed and lovely and peaceful. Spacious for a one bed. Steep steps up to front door could be an issue if you were a bit unstable on your feet.
