Me and the family had a lovely time at this property. It was so peaceful with plenty of room to roam both inside and out. We didn't even see another person during our stay. It's location is idyllic surrounding you is rolling hillside and cattle. Our intention was to relax and this place helps you unwind and do this definitely. I would recommend this place to anyone, I didn't see any negative reviews in the guest book, it would be impossible to give it one.I'll be looking at booking again.
