We hebben ontzettend genoten van ons verblijf in dit heerlijke huis, midden in de prachtige natuur. Lindsay verwelkomde ons hartelijk en zorgde ervoor dat we ons meteen thuis voelden. Ook tijdens ons verblijf stond ze voor ons klaar als we vragen hadden. Vanuit het huis kun je direct prachtige wandelingen maken en ook de pub ligt op loopafstand. Het huis is van alle gemakken voorzien en biedt alles wat je nodig hebt voor een heerlijk ontspannen verblijf. Een echte aanrader voor iedereen die op zoek is naar rust, natuur en gastvrijheid!
