Good getaway
It was a great getaway. Downsides were the Spa didn't want to work (heated up but no bubbles), no Wifi that we only found out about after paying for the place (should be listed clearer), and the driveway was precariously steep for a gravel road. The great parts were that it was far more beautiful in person than the pictures show. Very peaceful, secluded, well looked after and had great amenities provided such as fire starters, torch, umbrella etc.

Perfect stay
Our stay was absolutely perfect! From the moment we stepped out onto the deck, the breathtaking view over the hills instantly put us at ease, filling us with relaxation. We left feeling completely rested and rejuvenated. The games room provided hours of fun, and sitting by the fire in the evenings was a cozy highlight. The host's thoughtful complimentary touches made us feel truly welcome, and their communication was excellent throughout. We hope to return again soon!

Lovely getaway
This fitted the bill for getting away from the city for a few days to enjoy a great little family break. Kids were very happy to play pool, Monopoly, cards and even read! We loved watching the clouds roll in over the hills and keeping the fire stoked. Would return!
