We had a delightful four night stay at this charming cottage, overlooking a peaceful and beautiful valley. Really comfy beds and sofas, a well equipped kitchen and spotless throughout. The swimming pool at the farm was amazing and much enjoyed by 6 year old Sophia. She also loved the animal feeding, as well as the ride on toys and games room.
