Equipment in the kitchen was amazing. Alexaâs in every room. The owner messaging to make sure we were okay. The hot tub was very big and under cover, so even when it was a rainy day we could still use it. Very high standard cottage.

Almost everything was considered, from child play areas to the fireplace and cleaning. We couldn't find a single flaw in the villa or the service. Tim was very kind and considerate, attending to the hot tub every day. We really enjoyed our stay there and I definitely recommend

The views were lovely; looking out over the open fields. The house itself was super comfy and stylish, with all the modern touches you could want. The kitchen was perfect for cooking up meals, and the living areas were spacious and cozy. But the best part? The hot tub! Soaking in it while taking in those incredible views was the highlight of the trip. The garden at this house was also fantastic! The fire pit was perfect for evening chilling and roasting marshmallows. The swings were a hit with everyone, giving us all a chance to relax and enjoy the outdoors. The children particularly enjoyed the hammocks too! For families, the astroturf area was greatâitâs soft and safe, so the kids could play around without any worries. If you're looking for a spot to relax and enjoy some top-notch amenities, this place is perfect. I can't recommend it enough!
