Welcoming to pets. Host very hospitable with great information. Included in bike ride with host. Complimentary wine croissants fresh eggs and local honey added bonus. Altogether a wonderful stay in Orange with Simon and Majella.
Simon the host was very welcoming on arrival. The hosts have thought of and provided everything, including little touches to make your stay comfortable. The accommodation felt like a friendly home.
Beautiful location, loved the animals. Friendly owner. Accommodation was really comfortable & well equipped. Very generous provisions. Will definitely be back.
I had the most lovely 3 night stay with my daughter- we were greeted by Simon who introduced us to all of his gorgeous animals and gave us fantastic local recommendations.
Each morning (after the world's best sleep), we fed the alpacas, sheep and horses, enjoyed the genereous breakfast provisions -fresh hen and duck eggs!!!- and just truly relaxed. The birds, bees, farm animals and bright green soft grass made for a really lovely stay, I honestly felt renewed after our visit. Highly, highly recommend.
My wife and I and our dog had a great stay. It is in a lovely setting. The owners were very helpful and made it a comfortable stay. As confirmation my dog and I have booked to stay there again 2 months after our last stay.
We stayed two nights in the dog -friendly flat adjacent to the house. It was perfect for two people and our two small dogs. Warm and comfortable in the chilly weather. We liked the deck overlooking the property and the llamas. A very welcoming stay and we would love to visit again.
Beautiful accommodation for weary travellers! Bed was the most comfortable we have slept in for many years. Home was sparkling clean and had everything we needed.
Warm and welcoming in country surrounds. Loved the complimentary bottle of wine, loaf of bread, milk and fresh eggs. Couldn’t fault this property. Excellent! 10/10.
