We very much enjoyed hosting Jacqueline and her lovely family, who was an absolute delight. They were respectful of the property, we were happy that they enjoyed the facilities and we look forward to welcoming them back again. I am most happy to recommend Jacqueline.

A magical, romantic getaway! We loved the wood-fired pizza ovens, outdoor fire, fruit trees, and baby lambs. Cozy spots everywhere, and a lovely manager. Only disappointment was the unheated indoor pool. Still, an unforgettable experience!

Explorative wonderland! A feast for the senses.

What a beautiful property! We had an hours-long tour with Kathy, the caretaker, who lives in a cottage at the back of the property. There was so much to explore! The kids loved the pool. We played tennis. We walked, and walked, and walked. Quirky, and fun! Kathy and the team go above and beyond to make you feel welcome. Beds were comfy, and lots of care taken to keep the place clean and visually interesting. Enjoy!

Caretaker was lovely. House is beautiful. Surrounding area is picturesque. Would definitely recommend. Nice quiet location but not far from amenities and things to do and see.

Simply wonderful family break

The perfect remedy to stressful life. A couple of nights here and I honestly feel renewed. Sophie is just wonderful, the most warm, thoughtful, welcoming host. Never intrusive and so lovely to have around for beautiful garden walks and chats. Absolutely everything you could want or need is provided. Our 5 year old daughter loved it too. Everyone says it but we will definitely return here and highly recommend this property as the perfect base for exploring the region. Ideal for families, fur babies included. You won’t regret booking this one!

Relaxing oasis

Thoroughly enjoyed my time here as did my dogs. It's so peaceful in the gardens and the forest at the back of the property.

A home away from home

For someone from the country, this beautiful old home was perfect for us. A secluded little paradise, it can feel like there's no one else in the world at times. Perfect as a midpoint stay in the limestone coast. If you like getting cosy on a very comfy couch by the fire at night, you'll love it too.

Thanks Harry, a great description and that is exactly why we fell in love with the place as well. We put a lot of work into finding the right couch, so love that you enjoyed it too, along with the roaring fire. It was a pleasure to have you and we look forward to welcoming you back the next time you pass through.

Just what we were looking for

Sitting on the super comfy couches in front of the softly crackling fireplace, reading a good book while the rain fell gently outside is our definition of heaven. The winter weather didn't allow us to enjoy everything this wonderful place has to offer, but we didn't mind - just one more reason to come back.

It was a pleasure to host Jason and Rebecca, lovely, friendly guests. You are quite right, it is the most wonderful, cozy feeling to be curled up on the sofa in front of the crackling fire with a good book and the rain pattering down , so glad you enjoyed it. We look forward to welcoming you back.
