Lovely barn stay

We enjoyed a 5 night stay with our three boys and the lovely owner also accommodated our Rhodesian ridgeback. We all loved meeting and feeding the horses amd the location was a good spot to access all the surrounding towns of Mt Macedon. We will be reccomending to our friends with horse's.
