A beautiful property with lovely host. The room (golf view) was huge, the bed immense!. Everything was spotless, the area very quiet, overlooking the golf course. Large communal areas with lovely decking. Help yourself continental breakfast with lots of choice. Highly recommend.

Recommended all around

we arrived early and were in a rush, which is never a good combination! We called the owners, who were very understanding and helped us check in early and get settled quickly. The service was fantastic. And so was the place!
Rachel, 1-night trip

Such a beautiful nature 😊 Definitely worth the money
Shahin, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The room was extremely cozy and private. We checked in late, but the owners were very responsive and helpful getting us situated. The listing on Expedia does say that check-out is 11am, but it is actually 10am. If we had stayed in the area longer, we definitely would have stayed here longer.
