Beautiful setting, very nice place but too many rules. Also, be forewarned, no televisions in the room and the lounge tv is large but on such a low volume that it is practically worthless. Nice breakfast.

The owners were so friendly and welcoming…they want you to feel like family. It was genuinely a wonderful stay!
Wow. Absolutely excellent hotel. We stayed in one of the private cabins. It was clean and beautiful and had everything you could need. Bed was comfortable and great views of surrounding area. Food at main hotel was delicious. Had dinner and breakfast. Recommend both. Staff exceptional. Great stop on our trip. Highly recommend!
My family stayed here for 2 nights while we explored the South Coast. The cabin we stayed in was very cute. The farmland surrounding the property was very peaceful. My only complaint was that I breakfast was not included in our stay, even though I thought the booking said it was. Also, the management was not overly helpful with local recommendations when I reached out to them.
The AC did not work at all and we could not sleep both nights. The owners response was to leave the windows wide open. We did not feel safe. The food is terrible. They would not even give me coffee to go. Bad property. Would not stay again.
Really great place. The setting is beautiful. A horse farm. The service was excellent. Didn't have dinner there but I should have because breakfast was amazing. Maybe 50 different items. Will hopefully stay again.
No AC. Shower did not have shower lip to contain water. Water went all over bathroom while showering due to slow drain. Was unable to squeegee bathroom completely, even with multiple tries. Sulfer smell throughout room due to water not draining in bathroom.
Was unable to use hot tub due to it not being warm.
Decent breakfast - good yogurt bar.
No shoes in hotel.
The cottage is amazing. It's beautiful. You can see the horses, cats surrounding you. My family like this hotel very much. The cottage is especially fit families. The hotel is clean.

We had a fantastic stay here. It's peaceful and quiet. Love to watch the horses, and the absolute highlight for me was the kitties that came to greet us. Made me smile every time I saw them!
Very friendly and helpful staff, clean and comfortable room. Close to many interesting sights. Great breakfast! Would like to have a small fridge in the room but overall a wonderful place!! Would definitely stay here again.
The property is ideally located and on a gorgeous farm. We loved seeing the horses (with foals!) and the cats who visited our cottage! We enjoyed the dinner on-site. The cottage was clean and basic. There are no extra frills here, but we found it to be charming for our family.
The property was very quiet, peaceful and relaxing. It is in a beautiful rural setting. There are several areas around the property that invite guests to sit down and relax.
The breakfast was wonderful. There was a variety of options available and all were fresh and delicious.
Beautiful Hotel in the countryside, owners were nice and friendly . Blown away with the breakfast in the morning
All round good experience , would recommend.

Prima voor 1 nacht
Prima plek voor één nacht. Goede bedden, prachtig uitzicht, heerlijk rustig. De finishing touch kan net wat beter. Een stoel met veel vlekken, een krom mes, een scheef gordijntje voor de keukenplank, erg veel haren overal, reservedekens in de badkamer. Maar prima voor een rondreis.
Absolutely gorgeous property. Would def stay again. Beds weren’t too hard like a lot of hotel type properties. Fully equipped kitchen and it was so nice to stay here.
