    dusty room
    confusing shower

    I was appalled by the excessive dust and cobwebs throughout the room. Not to mention, the shower was confusing to operate, leading to a frustrating start every time I needed to wash off. This was not at all what I expected from a place that charges a premium rate! It felt more like I was camping than staying at a hotel.

    vintage art
    dusty surfaces

    The room was spacious and had a nice décor, but I really wish there

    were more furnishings to make it feel cozier. The vintage art added charm, and I appreciated the local recommendations from the host. However, the cleanliness could use some attention. I noticed dust and cobwebs in various areas.

    dusty room
    complicated shower

    absolutely loved the huge room but it was so dusty and covered in cob webs, surely I deserve better on my stay? the shower was a true challenge to figure out, very unwelcoming. expected a lovely complimentary welcome gift, but ended up feeling like just another guest. such a disapointing experience, too bad, I almost wrote a nice review!

    vintage decor

    Couple getaway, a touch of rustic charm

    The place is very nice , with lots of nice vintage interior decor and art work. The bath tub is stand alone in the center of the bathroom which compliments the theme.

    It was pretty pricey but that’s to be expected for such a cozy spot.

    delicious local eats
    adorable pups
    beautiful decor
    cheeky shower confusion
    time-consuming

    Sarah gave us the inside scoop on dining gems nearby, and we dined like kings! Plus, being greeted by those adorable donkeys and sweet pups added a heartwarming touch to our stay. The house itself was decorated beautifully, giving off good vibes all around!

    Now, I did have a cheeky encounter with the shower—took ages to figure it out at first! But honestly, we still felt right at home, and it didn't put a damper on our marvelous time.

    The welcome was warm and genuine. The ensuite room was spacious and comfortable. I appreciated the GF breakfast with yogurt and fruit. I enjoyed the company of adorable dogs and donkeys on the property. Tea and coffee were conveniently available in the hall. 🐶

    lack of decor

    sarah was incredibly warm, and the breakfast was delightful with homemade yogurt and fruit! the beautiful garden added to the charm, making it a perfect retreat for a weekend getaway.
