This property was immaculate. It was peaceful and felt like home. It was a wonderful "home base" for all of our day trips. Everything we needed was there. The host even treated us to locally made yogurt, water, sparkling water and a small milk to get us started. That was so thoughtful. The kitchen had everything needed to fix meals.

Beautiful house, a short drive to the beach, we heard the horses fairly often when we had the door open. It's a beautiful kitchen with quality appliances. I can't think of anything that I didn't like.

Thanks for being great guests and that you coped with the horses neighing to each other rather more than was necessary at times!

About the host

Host profile image

I have been local to this area my whole life and part of the equestrian community. I have travelled extensively and want to share our beautiful part of the world.

Why they chose this property

There are many outdoor activities but also local cafes, art and sculpture walks, farmers markets and a great place just to relax and chill if you want to.

What makes this property unique

The gatehouse replaced a hay barn and accommodation. It stands alone and we can carry on our activities without encroaching on our guests. They can then choose to interact or just go about their own pursuits.
