My stay was great. I loved the Farm house feeling it has.

The property is nicely private but close to the main road, which makes access easy and safe no matter the mode of transport.

After a long day on the road, this was a welcomed reprieve. Will definitely be back!

I love the location as well as the overall property. The unit itself exceeds expectations. It was huge, clean, very well thought out. The extra touches and comfort made this the perfect work or vacation stay. Lizzi is also just the best. So warm and welcoming and happy to assist.

Cozy and comfortable cottage

Beautiful home. Comfortable stay with all the amenities. Heated blankets and fireplace were a bonus for the chilly weekend. The room was serviced daily, and lots of special touches from the host made our stay extra special.

Lizzi is a most welcoming and engaged host. Love the serenity of the property and attention to detail in the rooms.

Comfortably furnished room with well equipped kitchen. Fresh milk and a bag of ice in the freezer was a great touch. Love the fireplace in the room for winter stays. Really enjoyed the ambiance of the space.

Work from home girlie's who needed a break for new years!

Everything. Not only is the accommodation perfect (with every little bit and Bob you can imagine) but the host is honestly the sweetest. We traveled as two women on our own for new years and she made us feel safe. Liz even recommended mutliple spots nearby for us and gave us daily weather forecasts which were perfect for what we wanted. The food was amazing and the venue were exactly what we want, just 10min away. Even when the weather was the kindest (Hilton fog) She checked on us via WhatsApp to check if we're fine and needed anything. I honestly felt at home. On new years she gifted us champagne and chocolate. I honestly couldn't have imagined a better break and I'm definitely going BACK SOON! .
