This place is stunning!! Jeanette greeted us and personally showed us around. Incredible place and the hosts were amazing. Best home made lemon drizzle cake in our welcome pack. There’s a barn with a rope swing and basket ball hoop. Grandkids fed the goat and pig every day. The night sky was INCREDIBLE, so clear and all watched so many shooting stars it was just sublime from start to finish. The photos don’t do it justice ♥️♥️♥️♥️
