Lovely accommodation in a peaceful setting.

Lovely accommodation in a peaceful setting. If you are looking for a quiet and stress free getaway look no further! Tastefully decorated and furnished, comfy beds, couches and well equipped kitchen. To get the full benefit of exploring the area, read the information booklet and leaflets/guides available in the living room. Would like to visit again in the future.
