Beautiful and quiet getaway
My family of 4 ( kids 8 & 5) stayed here for a week in May. The property was clean and the kitchen had everything we needed. The garden was beautiful and the setting incredibly peaceful.
The infrared sauna was amazing and highly recommend trying it out if you stay.
It’s worth knowing that the house is on a single lane, winding road. It’s easy to drive and navigate but very different if you’re used to the city.
Overall and excellent stay and hosts. I would highly recommend this hidden charm.
