    Plus the unusually generous welcome pack which provided so many extras and treats. Thank you so much Shiri.

  • Jackie

    The owners were very helpful and very friendly. It was definitely one of the best properties we have ever stayed in. The Welcome package was so very generous. We enjoyed making use of the Pizza oven and the BBQ and the Games Room.

  • Chloe

    Shiri clearly puts so much effort into the property. The cleanliness, facilities, and thought were all outstanding. The welcome package, baked goods, and ice cream all went down a treat! The local walks were lovely, especially as they're on the doorstep of the property. Perfect for dogs too! Everything felt luxurious! Will definitely be booking again!
