A most hospitable and caring couple. They helped us out in a spot of bother and went well above and beyond what most people would have done. The home is super cosy and very clean. We will be recommending this to all of our family and friends.

It was very clean and warm and the view from the bedroom window was magical. With the area not being light polluted the sky was awash with stars. Lots and lots of things to see and do in the area and people were very friendly. A fabulous little jewel of a place that we were sad to leave.
