Moonstone Villa was amazing and a perfect stay for our group. We stayed for 2 nights as a post Glastonbury Festival retreat and couldn’t have asked for anything more. The hosts were lovely and made sure we knew where everything was, and were always on hand to answer any questions we had. The house is lovely and we were left with fresh bathrobes to use after the hot tub. Thank you for letting us stay in your beautiful house - I’m sure we’ll be back!
