Lovely, wish I'd stayed longer
Michelle Thompson, South Africa
24 December 2011
Really nice and quiet. Just out of town so close enough to the shops but far enough out to get the country feeling. We enjoyed our stay and wish we had stayed longer. Tasteful décor, simple but nice. Lovely views, with cows in the neighbouring meadows. Self-catering facilities a bit lacking, not going to cook a Christmas lunch in the kitchenette, but for a quick breakfast it's ideal.

I felt at home even though I was far from home. It was very secure and the hospitality of the hosts has encouraged me to return in the near future.
