Perfect location for a big family gathering, amazing garden, great host - we'll definitely come back

This place is so lovely, the spacious garden with all its fruit trees is a dream - the kids spent hours just running around outside which was great. We felt super welcomed by Jessica, what an amazing host she is! And we felt super safe, we basically slept with the entrance door wide open one night.There is a very well stocked shop and a lovely café within the location which was very handy in regards of breakfast and things we needed on short notice. Just perfect!
