Every aspect was fantastic! The location was private and peaceful, and the home was beautifully presented with everything you could ever need. We would love to visit again and absolutely recommend The Homestead to other travellers.

We wish we had booked more nights there!

Cute little cottage set in beautiful grounds. Quirky and cute - everything you would need at your fingertips. Beautiful rooms and comfortable beds. We loved the decor and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. A fabulous host who has given a lot of thought to our comfort - thank you!

Quiet with spacious bedrooms, kitchen and living area. Good appliances. Lovely big grounds, trees, birds, off road but good quick access to road. Not lakeside but straight forward road access and not too far away at all.

There were no downfalls.

Gemütliches Haus in einem wunderschönen Garten. Das Haus hat alles, was man für einen Aufenthalt benötigt - und sogar alles für ein Frühstück war vorhanden! Danke schön!! Das Haus ist sauber und sehr liebevoll eingerichtet. Man kann es sich im Garten gemütlich machen oder zum nahegelegenen See fahren/joggen. Wir würden wieder kommen!!
