    Well appointed, everything you need. Close enough to town if you have a car. I loved being able to drive up close, right in front of the unit. Outside bath is wonderful Would stay again
  • Sabrina

    It was perfection. Would have loved to stay longer. Great communication, very clean and comfortable. We loved the bathtub/shower outside (there's another shower inside), the stunning night skies, the whole "welcome package". We highly recommend...
  • Leonie

    Many thoughtful touches such as sensor night lights, fruit bowl, quality cushions and pillows, bubbles etc. Very well presented. A delightful country stay only a few minutes away from the city. Really enjoyed the outside bath. Definitely recommend
