! Such a lovely little properly, in peaceful, beautiful surroundings. Was perfect for us and our 3 children. The property is furnished beautifully and well equipped for a nice easy, comfortable stay. Thank you for the lovely little touches (providing marshmallows and sticks to toast on the fire pit and a little bottle of milk in the fridge). The site was nice and safe for our children and they enjoyed the little on site play area. Thank you for a lovely stay. Would most certainly recommend and Iâm sure weâll be back!!
