    “Stayed for 2 nights over the weekend with my 11 year old grandson and the dog.”

    What a little gem this place is. As I have a German shepherd the large fenced off paddock around the hut was perfect. It has everything you need and the hot tub is perfect. We had amazing weather so waking up and looking at nature while having a coffee was perfect. The owners are really friendly and accommodating. Sorry for the long post but I can’t say enough positives about it b

    Hi Diane, Thank you so much for such a lovely review. We’re really glad you and your grandson enjoyed your stay, and it’s great to hear the paddock worked well for your German Shepherd. Waking up to the views with a coffee really is something special, and we’re pleased you got the perfect weather for it. It was a pleasure having you here, and we’re delighted you found everything comfortable and welcoming. You’re always welcome. Best regards Jan & Paul Property Owner
