Lovely private stay
Jo was excellent at communicating and was very accommodating. Despite being close to the main house we felt very secluded and private, the patio and garden are idyllic

This property was a lovely little place to stay for me and my partner. The extra little touches were lovely, it was peaceful and the location was perfect for us. Would recommend to anyone just looking to get a way for a few days, to relax and have some peace and quiet.

Wonderful luxury hideaway
What an amazing place! Jo has an impeccable eye for detail and every part of the apartment was beautiful. The cut flowers from her garden were a wonderful touch. Everything was incredibly clean, a fully functional kitchen with all utensils needed. A powerful shower and wonderfully comfortable bed. The breakfast supplies were a lovely treat too. Jo was very responsive and helpful before we arrived. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay :)
