Andy and Charmaine were excellent hosts, the homemade scones and fresh milk and eggs were a lovely surprise. The property was clean and excellently maintained and in the ideal location. The property itself is in beautiful surroundings but there is so much to do within easy reach. We'll definitely be back. Thank you!
