Süßes Hütchen mit Veranda in Natur inmitten wunderschönem Garten. Gut für Zwischenstopp auf dem Weg nach Picton.

Etwas anonymer Aufenthalt. Keine Tips, was man in der unmittelbaren Umgebung machen kann, bspw kleine Spaziergänge

"Logement non adapté aux Boomers/Seniors"

8.0

Le calme , les lapins gambadant dans la pelouse d'un jardin très bien entretenu La facilité d'accéder grace aux instructions transmises par l'hôte par courriel

Aucun contact avec l'hôte , décevant pour rencontrer la population locale et échanger . Impersonnel ☹️ C'est un logement pour les beaux jours , la table de la cuisine est très petite et la terrasse généreuse peu adaptée au printemps frileux . Pas d'informations pour une petite marche juste dans le voisinage . Il faut être très habile pour faire fonctionner le chauffage avec la télécommande , selon les instructions fournies , alors que l'on peut après On/Off appuyer directement sur les commandes affichées sur le radiateur .

There were good instructions to find the property. The cottage is in lovely gardens. It is small and quaint - and note there are steps inside and outside to access. Lovely verandah on 2 sides of cottage - good place to sit providing the weather is good. There is only one chair inside. Kitchenette was well equipped including 2 burner hob, pots and pans. Note no freezer section in fridge. Bed was comfy. Lots of birds in garden, and cattle in open areas to the hills behind. Great for a short stop off.

"Fantastic place to relax and appreciate the views of the mountain."

10.0

Really enjoyed our stay at this fantastic little hideaway. Great location, amazingly comfortable bed and wonderfully creative interior. We had an amazing stay in this beautiful wee house and the peaceful surroundings made it the perfect place to relax. The evening and dawn bird chorus were beautiful and the mountain view stunning. Check in was easy, and the hosts were very responsive. Despite the cold weather, we stayed warm and snug. Hope to be back again one day! Highly recommend.

There is nothing to dislike about this stunning wee house.
