    We spent a lovely few days in this gorgeous peacecully retreat.. Arrived to a lovely welcome from Amber, who showed us through accommodation. Felt at home staright away, spacious rooms, beds are devine, sheets lovely & soft. Its the extra touches of throws and blankets that add to a place. Shower spacious and large. Well stocked kitchen with lovely private outdoor seating area to enjoy the garden & listening to birds. Friendly dog visited few times a day to say hello. Town only 10 min drive away, also lovely beach 30min drive.

    My car was covered in bird dropping and leaves but it's expected as the parking space is under a big tree.

    My children loved the country life and extremely friendly and cuddly dog, it made us feel at home. The beds are very comfortable.

    The property exuded serenity, with a tranquil atmosphere that my entire family enjoyed. Our toddler absolutely loved the space, spending joyful moments playing with the puppies. The beds and amenities were incredibly comfortable, making it a truly relaxing and enjoyable experience for everyone.

    Nothing really. The place was lovely

    The place was clean and comfortable. The setting was beautiful and private. It had everything we needed. Even a washing machine. We were late arriving and it was dark so the owners unlocked the house and turned on the lights and heaters for us. So it was nice and cozy when we arrived. We appreciated that so much. It had been a long day

    Not so much a 'don't like', but be aware that there is nothing really around here. Everything is about a 10 min drive. As we did not plan to go anywhere, this did not bother us.

    This was the perfect place to hide away and hang out or recover from a busy trip. The gardens are beautiful and they even have an avocado tree! The hosts are very welcoming and are able to provide information for things in the area. We had decided to book this as the weather was going to be awful, and we did not regret it.

    Beautiful surrounding, lovely decor and loved the old phones displayed around the house. Wished we had more time to relax and enjoy the property. Location was great for where we needed to be at our daughter's golf tournament. Thank you for greeting us Amber and accommodating at short notice our extra (daugther). We would love to stay again next year when we return. Best wishes
