Great little weekend getaway

Photos don’t really do this place justice. Very cosy and quaint and a great view sitting out on the balcony. A clean little cabin with everything you need to stay comfortable. Owner was very friendly and accomodating. Definitely recommend.

Already planning our next visit

Rustic cottage with lots of personal knick-naks. Clean, quiet, comfy & great hosts. Great views from the covered patio, to sit and soak in the serenity, or watch the alpacas in the yard. Ten minute walk to town for a good meal at the pub. Already planning our next stay & have recommended to a friend. What a relaxing place. Thank you :)

A stay with personality

We enjoyed our overnight stay here. The hosts generously shared their family heirlooms in this granny flat and the alpacas were a delight. Lovely hot shower too!
