Reviewed Sep 8, 2026Loved that it was so serene and peaceful. We had such a lovely nights sleep. The host was very accommodating. We booked last minute, she helped us with no problem at all. The place was clean and ready . It had everything we need . Even lovely coffee and milk and water in the fridge. The ekstra warm blanket was n big plus as it was chilly.
We were happy with everything 😊 Nothing we didn't like.
