We enjoyed everything in the Skyscape. Even the local strawberry jam and honey, everything is so great. BTW, if you stay here, you wouldn’t go outside or go hiking for a sunrise. You could just lie on your comfortable and warm bed to enjoy it. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/124AA1DD857F0D86513EE50CA836728A9FAE51231674807445420.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/85F5D539A34A64AD04D82D1369893CD4E70CAC621674807443989.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/E04324C767F4BEEF41036759DAC82D8A5006A2651674807445215.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Bo-Chun Stayed 1 night in Jan 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 2 Jan 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mary 5 Sept 2023 ##### Mary Stayed 1 night in Sep 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### SEUNGBONG 23 Aug 2023 ##### SEUNGBONG Stayed 1 night in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lay Chyi 27 Apr 2023 ##### Lay Chyi Stayed 1 night in Apr 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### xiaoming 21 Oct 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities An isolated romantic escapade with stunning views from all around !!!

Amazing stay and absolutely worth the drive! We were lucky enough to stay on a very clear night and I’ve never seen that many stars. There is a lot of attention to detail in the house design and complementary items. From a delicious breakfast to apps for star gazing, it was perfect. And the outdoor space was incredible (and so many sheep)! Loved it and would absolutely be back for a longer stay. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Nov 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lucas 21 Sept 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Fantastic Amazing place.

Eine tolle Erfahrung! Die Fotos lügen wirklich nicht. Es ist ein absoluter Traum! Die Besitzer sind unglaublich nett und zuvorkommend. Das Häuschen befindet sich ca. 3 km von ihnen zu Hause entfernt (hat aber ein Telefon für Notfälle) und einwandfreies Wifi (wie macht er das nur in der Natur?). Keine Menschenseele lebt an diesem Ort. Dafür konnten wir wilde Hasen und Vögel vom Bett aus beobachten. Einfach traumhaft. Der Sternenhimmel ist unglaublich schön und der Sonnenaufgang noch schöner. Es stehen sogar zwei tolle Bikes zur freien Benutzung, sowie Wegempfehlungen zur Verfügung. Der Kühlschrank ist mit allen frischen Zutaten für ein gelungenes Frühstück gefüllt. In jedem Detail liegt so viel Liebe. Wir werden diesen Ort für immer in unserem Herzen behalten. ##### Simi Stayed 1 night in Jan 2018 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Grand Prince Hotel Takanawa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tokyo-Hotels-Grand-Prince-Hotel-Takanawa.h528661.Hotel-Information) > > [Rainforest Retreat](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Franz-Josef-Glacier-Hotels-Rainforest-Retreat.h7088168.Hotel-Information) > > [Rosewood Matakauri](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Queenstown-Hotels-Matakauri-Lodge.h1097561.Hotel-Information) > > [Richmond Holiday Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Richmond-Hotels-Richmond-Holiday-Park.h29218591.Hotel-Information) > > [Anantara The Marker Dublin - A Leading Hotel of the World](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dublin-Hotels-The-Marker-Hotel-A-Leading-Hotel-Of-The-World.h5921132.Hotel-Information) > > [Mar Hotels Alcanada](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Alcudia-Hotels-Seasun-Far.h14651342.Hotel-Information) > > [George Hotel Huntingdon by Greene King Inns](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Huntingdon-Hotels-George-Hotel-Huntingdon-By-Greene-King-Inns.h2545080.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels near Wolverhampton Race Course](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Wolverhampton-Race-Course-Hotels.0-l6254451-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [ibis Rotorua](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rotorua-Hotels-Ibis-Rotorua.h1131218.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels with Early Check-in in Johannesburg](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Johannesburg-Hotels-Hotel-With-Early-Check-In.0-0-d6051471-thotelwithearlycheckin.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Patara Viewpoint Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kas-Hotels-Patara-Viewpoint-Hotel.h24921634.Hotel-Information) > > [Pegasus Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Corfu-Hotels-Pegasus-Hotel.h2923693.Hotel-Information) > > [NOX HOTELS - West Hampstead](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-NOX-HOTELS-West-Hampstead.h2688530.Hotel-Information) > > [Anezi Apartments](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Agadir-Hotels-Anezi-Apartments.h13124298.Hotel-Information) > > [All-Inclusive Hotels in Blackpool](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Blackpool-Hotels-All-Inclusive-Hotel.0-0-d619-tAllInclusiveHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels near Croke Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Croke-Park-Hotels.0-l6176612-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels near Bempton Cliffs](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bempton-Cliffs-Hotels.0-l6088227-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Anglers paradise and great family holiday place](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Makarora-Hotels-Anglers-Paradise-And-Great-Family-Holiday-Place.h37278832.Hotel-Information) > > [Radisson Hotel & Apartments Gdansk](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gdansk-Hotels-Radisson-Hotel-Suites.h32518711.Hotel-Information) > > [Tongariro Suites at The Rocks](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Horopito-Hotels-Tongariro-Suites-At-The-Rocks.h9679404.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Paris](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Paris-Hotels.d179898.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Wedding Hotels in Ksamil](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ksamil-Hotels-Wedding-Hotel.0-0-d6193554-tWeddingHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels with Parking in Leicester](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Leicester-Hotels-Hotel-With-Free-Parking.0-0-d7583-thotelwithfreeparking.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Kinlochewe](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kinlochewe-Hotels.d3000010907.Travel-Guide-Hotels) ### Flights > [Flights from Newcastle-upon-Tyne (NCL) to Farnborough (FAB)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/ncl/fab/newcastle-to-farnborough) > > [Flights from Liverpool (LPL) to Paris (CDG)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/lpl/cdg/liverpool-to-paris) > > [Flights from Leeds (LBA) to Skiathos (JSI)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/lba/jsi/leeds-to-skiathos) > > [Flights from London (LHR) to Bora Bora (BOB)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/lhr/bob/london-to-bora-bora) > > [Flights from Edinburgh (EDI) to Thermi (SKG)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/edi/skg/edinburgh-to-thessaloniki) > > [Flights from London (LHR) to St. Petersburg (LED)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/lhr/led/london-to-st-petersburg)
