We received such a warm welcome from Lisa and Adi with fresh eggs, cake and other lovely touches. Every room was absolutely gorgeous, the house was immaculate and so very cosy. We had a lovely family get together and really enjoyed our stay! The hot tub was amazing too! There was a bakery, butchers, shop and pubs within walking distance. Our dogs loved it and we would definitely recommend this property - it was perfect for us!
