We had a lovely stay. It was peaceful and quiet which is what we wanted. Amazing scenery. The cottage was neat and clean and private. The wood-fired hot tub was excellent. The indoor fireplace worked very well. Gravel roads cater for mountain biking. There are a few hiking trails. 10 out of 10. The road to the farm was in good condition. Thanks to the friendly hosts.
