Great location, nice and clean with well stocked kitchen. Great heating and children enjoyed playing in enclosed veranda room. Plenty of room for extended family. One down side were all double beds were awful!!! We like a firm bed but it was like sleeping on a board. I would need confirmation that the mattresses had been replaced before I rebooked. Shame as everything else was great.
We had such an amazing weekend at this gorgeous property. The house is absolutely amazing and exactly what we wanted. We met the lovely Margot who had the cows and she let us feed the potty calf. Such a great experience I recommend this property to anyone!

Not what I expected
No bbq at the house, mould on ceilings. Never again will I stay here again. Over priced for what you get.
Large spacious facilities are great for large groups. Property was very clean and surrounding areas are very beautiful.
However beds are very firm so I would recommend perhaps bringing a foam bed topper if you are used to a soft mattress.
