Recent Trip Advisor Reviews “We went here for an overnight stay and where blown away by the hospitality shown to by owner Richard. Would highly recommend Harmony Hill. Food was great service was great and the staff where great. (November 2014) “I stayed here for a couple of nights to relax and recharge. Nice open fire in the bedroom, comfy bed and peace. We chose to have dinner both nights and enjoyed sitting on the veranda with a G&T before dinner and sitting in the drawing room after. Breakfast was great setting us up for a short drive over to the coast and a lovely walk. Lovely place for a quiet getaway”. (September 2014). “Totally love this place. My husband and 3 kids stayed here overnight. We checked in round 4pm and immediately my kids found their way round the superb gardens! Trish the owner invited my wee girl to plant spring bulbs with her! Spent ages exploring the 'secret' garden before meeting in the drawing room where you can play numerous musical instruments, chill out and read or play board games. Our food both evening and morning were outstanding and not overly priced! All in all our girls are planning a revisit in spring! One word describes this place-bliss!” (October 2014).
