Perfect spot for one of our workers who said he had a great time staying here.
Nice & close for work, friendly & helpful owner
Perfect for the 2 weeks he was here.
A very considerate and hospitable host. Very accommodating with guests. No complaints and no negatives about the stay. Can’t wish for more. Would stay here again.
Had a wonderful stay, lovely hosts and absolutely perfect place to bring your dog. Great walks in the area and an enclosed courtyard for your dog to run around in. Will definitely be visiting again. Thanks so much Helen and family ❤️
Helen was lovely. She even provided a litter box and litter for our cat, put on the heat pump for a cosy arrival, had a couple of fresh eggs in the fridge and was very helpful - Well done.
The property was perfect for what I needed. The welcome was very friendly …an extra email, there when I arrived, thoughtful ammenities, extra milk, cerials, bread, butter, marmelade and jam in the frdge….and apartfrom that total privacy. Great!!
Loved the quiet location and the wee outside area with the swing chair which my son loved. So many personal touches...milk and coffee cereals jams etc.i loved the hairdryer! So much that i bought one the same on the way home.Lovely lady who checked in in our son and wee dog while we were at Selwyn Sounds...thank you so much! A lovely place in a wee piece of paradise.Thanks so much xx
Easy communication with host, host gave us helpful information with regards to our stay with our horses. Easy check in and accommodation had everything we needed for the week. We would stay here again.
Helen right from the start made our stay a real pleasure. Everything was beyond expectation and felt like a home away from home. We had to take our old wee dog with us and there was no stress at all as the property was well set up. Thank you so much! We'll be back 😊👍
