    This property has everything a family could want. We didn’t get to enjoy half of the amenities but, if we had the chance to do it all over again, we wouldn’t change a thing. Besides the property being in great shape, there were many personal touches, which made the stay quite comfortable. The animals helped make the experience even more special. Thank you Richard, you and your family couldn’t have been more gracious hosts and thank you Betty and Laszlo for your help with starting the fireplace and taking us to feed the animals. This is certainly a destination we intend on returning to in the future!

    Everything was perfect and everyone was sad to leave. We really enjoyed the animals and amenities. Betty and Laszlo could not have been more gracious and were excellent help with everything. Thank you again for the opportunity to stay and your kind generosity. We would love to come again in the future and for a longer period of time.

    Well what can I say about your house and grounds, truly amazing. We had such a wonderful week and made good use of all the facilities. We loved spending time wandering around the grounds and felt totally relaxed when we left. I think we sat in most of the seats round the garden. A favourite hideaway was the summerhouse in the middle of the sheep field and we spent alot of time as a family in the conservatory playing the piano and card games. Our children absolutely loved the animals and they spent alot of time with them even in the rain. The animals have such wonderful characters and will be fondly remembered. It was lovely to see them enjoying the house, grounds and facilities rather than being on their gadgets. And although they did have their phones it was mainly to take pictures of the animals, especially the tiny kitten which they named "Rafa".
