9/10
Reviewed Apr 3, 2026I loved the peaceful country setting and the facilities. The hosts were friendly and welcoming.
10/10
Reviewed Mar 20, 2026It was charming! The grounds were magical and well groomed but free flowing. We were greeted with fresh flowers from the garden and a lovely note of welcome! The bed was very comfy, the bathrooms were well appointed and the kitchen was clean and had a varied of tasty teas. All in all, one couldn’t ask for a more dreamy and relaxing place to stay!
I truly cannot think of one thing that was not right about this property.
10/10
Reviewed Mar 19, 2026The estate is remote in a beautiful valley and as such no need to lock the doors! The hosts left A note outside the door. The door was open and key inside on the table. Beautiful landscaping and walks around the property. The cottage was spacious and comfortable. Our host, Cam, came later and we had a wonderful chat with him.
