Loved this little place. Perfectly set up for the kids and our dog - the kids were happy to stay and play rather than explore the local area!The hosts were very thoughtful leaving home grown fruit, homemade jams, bacon and eggs plus breakfast things. We were not expecting this, and were pleasantly surprised.The cabins were nice and warm, even in the middle of winter. We used the heaters but were able to turn them off, or on low, after an hour.We will definitely be back!

Excellent and fully fenced as mentioned, heaps of spaces for GSD to run around and get tired by the end of the day. The host were very accomodating and thoughtful by providing goodies like bacon and free range eggs ready for us. Thoughtful to have little teddies on the bed with chocolates as well. Plenty of toys and games ( think of pedal Kart, tennis, cricket, lawn game and many more) did not have to go out for sightseeing, as this property included so much for all of us to spend the day there.

We’re so glad to hear the property was a great fit for your German Shepherd and that the fully fenced section gave them plenty of space to enjoy. It’s lovely to know the thoughtful touches from the host made your stay even more special, and that the range of activities available meant you could relax and enjoy the home without needing to venture far. We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience and hope to host you again.
