Most relaxing stay ever !

Beautiful, comfy, cozy. Wonder views , goats, horses, chickens, birds . Perfect set up. Nigel and his wife friendly and available. The pool was divine. I literally could have stayed for weeks. Everything you need for a perfect stay. We even got to see a nebula and Jupiter. What an unexpected treat
