Guests that stayed at this property said

Reviewers consistently mention the property's spotless condition, indicating meticulous attention to cleanliness.

The property is described as being in a peaceful rural location with beautiful surroundings, though the need to supervise pets and the proximity to local amenities are not detailed enough to warrant a perfect score.

Guests find the house comfortable, noting luxurious touches and a homely feel, with special mention of the comfortable beds.

The property boasts a range of well-maintained facilities including a pool, sauna, and a well-equipped kitchen, contributing to a high level of guest satisfaction.

The presence of a welcome hamper and the personal welcome from the host are frequently appreciated, though it is noted that such gestures are a bonus and not guaranteed.
