Beautiful but too many rules.

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.

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!

Quaint and quiet

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.

Disliked: Amenities
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 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.

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.
