Carlanis a wonderful host. It would have been lovely if we have stayed another night but it was a one stop night over and still special.

“Sheer beauty & elegance.”
The rooms are so beautiful, old worldly, tastefully decorated with everything you need but its the small touches that make it exceptional like the flowers in the bathroom, the soft warm Blankets. Its a quiet peaceful place where I could easily spend a week.

“The service, food, accommodation and location was excellent. I would go back if in the area again”
The location was private, food exceptional and hosts were best. We got more than we expected, exceptional service and homeliness beyond words. Home away from home. We would definitely come back should we have the opportunity and will refer them too

“Extremely relaxing stay in beautiful surroundings”
A beautiful farm with three apartments of which we stayed in one. Beautifully and thoughtfully decorated. Loved seeing the ducks and horses. The pool was most welcome especially due to the heat. Breakfast was amazing with the flexibility to accommodate my dietary requirements. We ate dinner at the restaurant which was excellent. Carla and Fred were phenomenal hosts.
