I liked everything about this place and owner and chef! This is the best experience! Hundred percent I will be back and enjoy the company of the owner and chef. They have the best personalities and you feel right at home and cozy and it’s so clean and beautiful! The food is five star rated! A variety of food and with special accommodations if needed. The garden is well-kept and gorgeous! I love playing the piano and entertaining the guests as well! The Secret garden House and bedroom was beautifully decorated! I loved the hot tub first thing in the morning! I was able to watch the beautiful trees and listen to the birds as I soaked in the hot tub. Overall experience was excellent!

Cute place
Cute private little cottages, friendly staff. The rooms are very small, and a bit out dated, but comfortable and clean nonetheless. One thing that made me a bit uncomfortable is that I was getting ready to go sit in our jacuzzi on our private patio, and a staff walked right into the balcony without knocking or anything and just started cleaning the jacuzzi. What if I had been enjoying my patio or jacuzzi in the nude? You’d think knocking would be a must! One other small complaint is that the walls are thin, so although it’s a private entrance to each cottage, you do share walls and can easily hear your neighbors. Otherwise clean, nice staff and cute little garden to relax in, they other breakfast which is nice but they only serve quiche and breads so you may want to plan on going otherwise for breakfast anyway. They do have yummy baked treats in the evenings though, the brownies were good!
