    Beautifull furniture. Very nice spot to look around and hear the birds. The care , the interest and the humour of the owners gave us a very good mood. We would like te see them again. They have interesting information about what is worthwhile seeing.

    Especially the wifi. I would recommend the property, but with a 'word of warning' about the wifi and the (lack of) 4g/5g. Our children and (elderly) parents weren't able to contact us several times, so that's something people might want to know beforehand. Having said that the owners couldn't be nicer people, they're attentive and so, so friendly. A better wifi router would make it a 10 out of 10 for us.

    The most attentive people we've ever met over many years of booking cottages through Sykes.
