Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt und konnten die Zeit geniessen. Der Blick über die weite Landschaft mit den vielen Wetterwechseln war immer wieder entspannend und traumhaft. Die Nähe zur Farm, mit den Pferden auf der Koppel, haben wir als Bereicherung empfunden. Alles war einfach perfekt!!! und vielen Dank für Brot und Milch und und....!
