4 guests' feedbackFriendly owner and staff, amazing fireplace and abundant entertainment material for all ages. Remarkably child friendly in the house. Would definitely recommend for large and small groups.
This is a great place for a weekend getaway. You can just rest there and the facilities are more than adequate.
Totally off-grid with the old farmhouse feel. Dead quiet with only nature around you.
Great getaway, lovely neat accommodation.
