Lovely cosy place for a family of 4. We had everything we needed to cook our own meals, it was like another home away from home. It was also very peaceful, we didn’t hear much cars go by, only the birds. We really enjoyed our stay, we would stay here again!

Beautiful and cosy little house. A short drive out of town but worth it if you have a car.
