We have been to the hollies a few times, but never at Christmas until this time, the setting outside was stunning, lights entwined around trees and bushes. Inside the Scot’s pine was just as beautiful with a tree and festive lights around the fireplace. The farm shop and shops were just as festive and magical with lights and music playing. We really enjoyed a relaxing time here over Christmas. Well done team hollies on creating such a beautiful setting at Christmas time.
We came to view Muckrach around a year and a half ago and knew straight away it was exactly what we wanted for your wedding. Fast forward to August 2025 we couldn’t have been happier with how our day and weekend went. We had the house and the lodges for a few days. All of our guests and suppliers were amazed with the venue. We absolutely loved having our wedding celebrations here and couldn’t have done it without the incredible help of the team and flexibility we were given. Donnie was incredible and made everything seem completely hassle free. If anyone is considering this as their ...more
Brilliant stay, everything was absolutely perfect. Been in a lot of self catering houses over the years and this one tops the lot by a mile. Well done.
Stunning, just stunning. An excellent lodge in an excellent location (though you do need a car if you want to explore the area) Superbly maintained by onsite team. Have already booked for next year and can’t wait to go back. The hot tub is superb!!
Outstanding quality in the Cottage, the location is idyllic, quiet, relaxing, just what was needed before the wedding.
What a beautiful Lodge, high standard or decor and furnishings and amazingly clean - Well done Location is just gorgeous, we will definitely return !
From the initial contact for booking, to leaving, everything was first class! Superb location with everything to hand and an unrivalled Farm Shop to tempt all. Despite the Shop being extremely busy, it was so peaceful in and around the Lodge, and the Hot Tub was perfect. Already planning the next trip!
A wonderful couple of nights at The Stay, immaculate room, very comfortable & plenty of space in the room. Ideal location for all our requirements. The staff were very friendly & helpful, would highly recommend & hope to return again soon. Thanks to Andy regarding the booking, very helpful.
Great stay,excellent location,been going to hollies for the last 8 yrs love it all,bit expensive but good quality
Room was lovely, large and comfortable. Only problem was the en-suite was freezing, could not use the shower as room was to cold even with towel rail was on full. Had to have wash in the morning with a jumper on. Could do with large radiator in en-suite, which we reported to the manageress, who said she will get right on to it. Apart from this staff were very helpful and pleasant.Would come back again when heating fixed.
Stayed for 2 nights. The lodge was absolutely stunning. Made even more magical by the Christmas lights. It was so quiet, peaceful and picturesque. I can’t wait to come back.
Loved staying at hollies retreats. We stayed in the nordmann fir which is dog friendly. Barney my cockapoo loved it. It was so peaceful a loveley place to unwiind..would definitely visit again .
Our 2 year old granddaughter called it our Christmas house the lights and tree made it special for her, we had relaxing family time, excellent food from the farm shop and great wine to sit and watch strictly - even a dip in the hot tub after a good walk, thank you to all involved
A home to home experience. No issues whatsoever. The lodge was comfortable, clean and really well equippped. The hut tub was ready to use. Food from the Hollies Farm Shop was fresh and delicious. The site was picturesque looked great for autumn and Halloween. A perfect stay!.
