"Very Good"

7.0

The place was very quiet and the heating was more than enough, which made our stay comfortable.

The WiFi was unfortunately very poor and we couldn’t really use it during our stay. Hopefully this can be improved for future guests.

Fabulous. Decor was beautiful. Peaceful farm setting. Comfortable beds and great kitchen.

Suggestion A toilet not in bathroom would be an asset.

Michelle is a very thoughtful owner, keep leaving comments until we check-in, and the house is in the manor, my family all very like this place.

some bad people may ruin the cottage, this rendered the kitchen unusable, if you want to use the kitchen, most thing you should cook at outside BBQ supplies, a little inconvenient, but it doesn't affect the fact that this is a very good place to stay.

We liked everything about the property! It was spotlessly clean, quiet, had everything we needed and was tastefully decorated. Also, Michelle the host is lovely.

Nothing 🙂
