Great little place for a couple of days’ getaway. Really good location, close to local walks and beautiful surroundings. The place was clean, cosy and well equipped, with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Very peaceful and relaxing, and the perfect spot to escape for a few days....

We had a wonderful stay. The cabin was very comfortable, cosy and had absolutely everything that we needed. Great location tucked away in the trees and very private.

A very thoughtful host who clearly cares about using locally sourced products. The binder was particularly helpful and thoughtful with plenty of suggestions for restaurants, activities, and much more.

Amazing little shepherd’s hut to accomodate 2 people. Much to my surprise there’s wifi too for those who want to stay online. The location is really quiet and it’s close to the lakes. The air quality is great, and it has all amenities that’s needed to have a calm country...
