A wonderful stay!
This is an incredibly welcoming setting...the flats are beautifully appointed and we enjoyed the fabulous bedding, espresso coffee maker, fireplace, etc--just so many very thoughtful details, and immaculately clean throughout. Absolute highlights for us include the very social pair of pigs on the farm, two friendly pups, and multiple nearby farm and field walks,,.but the helpfulness of the hosts, as we gathered our large family for a holiday celebration, was just above and beyond...from wonderful baked goods awaiting us on arrival to help with setting up a dining table to fit us all, it felt like we were being greeted by friends. We hope to return often!
