Reviewed Apr 6, 2026Location is splendid with a beautiful view on the valley, and the gardens on the farm are super well maintained, lots of flowers. Chalet had all basic amenities and was very clean. It was calm and lovely. Bed was comfortable.
An easy fix to make the stay even more comfy: some attention to the lights for a nice cosy atmosphere at night in the living area (some bulbs were very hospital white)

Reviewed Mar 30, 2026Road to location was terrible - but we understand it was from recent floods. Accommodation was good but I was not informed that 4 beds were upstairs (hectic upstairs) which 2 people could not climb. We had to sleep on couches in lounge as a 92 year old lady was given the downstairs room - with a double bed. Would have been excellent for family with 2 - 4 children or young friends.
The stairs to second bedroom is hideous!!! Rather have lounge on top and bedroom at the entrance.

i've been to cheerios every year for the past 5 years with family, this was the first time our bedding was dirty, the sheets had yellow stains all over and the couches and curtains were covered in dust i woke up with a severe sinus attack every morning. we had no electricity for 2 days there's no backup we only had a half candle to use and we lost all our food and meat. the kiddies jungle gym is not safe and falling apart, the family games room has nothing left inside just covered in spider webs.

Reviewed Dec 26, 2025The cottage is spacious and has everything we need for self catering. Liked that there was a gas stove that helps when the power is out. Mavis was friendly and came to give us fire wood at night. The property is quiet and peaceful.
The steep stairs, when you go to the toilet at night you need to go downstairs with those steep stairs, that was a bit hectic.

Reviewed Oct 21, 2025The fireplace was very cozy and deck provided a lovely indoor and outdoor atmosphere.
I understand the unit was self catering but it would have been nice if extra wood could have been brought directly to the unit. It was also odd that as a guest had to pay to fish for the same cost as a day visitor. The dam could have also been better maintained in terms of trees being trimmed to allow for optimal fly fishing. Better signage to the trout dam is also needed.

We kregen de tweede dag (onverwacht) schone handdoeken.
