It was our second time staying at this one. Such a beautiful place and with very affordable prices. The view is amazing and they have everything that one might need to enjoy. The baby was so happy playing with the toys and sheeps as well as the friendly dog. Had a great time. Will come again soon.

Love this place!

This little cottage is surprisingly large in the right places. It is in a beautiful farm setting and we enjoyed patting the friendly sheep. It suited our needs perfectly, definitely stay again. The fridge was awesome. The lounge and couches were excellent. Our host was lovely. Thoroughly enjoyed staying here.
