It's a cute little cottage in lovely landscape. The yoghurt we got was very good!

Breakfast is promised with fresh bread & jam - we got the bread, but no jam with it. Kitchen is not sufficiently equipped to provide for yourself: We were a group of three people, but only had 2 forks, 2 knives, etc... no spatula to do even the simplest cooking, etc... The plug-in heater in the cottage almost caught on fire when we plugged it in. This place could be lovely if it were better looked after.

Beautiful calm spot away from the town to recharge amongst the lavender and birdsong

Lovely location , nice distance away from town and beautiful lavendar gardens next door to visit for free. Plenty of room, nice outdoor shower as well as bath for that natural vibe! Fresh egsgs, bread provided and milk/orange juice more if needed. Good wifi etc. 10 min max drive easy road to town.
