10/10 Excellent

This was a wonderful stay. The property was beautifully done with such gorgeous touches, Including the fresh loaf of bread and homemade granola! The grounds were stunning, and I love wildlife photography so was a real haven for me with a real focus to everything being wildlife friendly and eco friendly! Kerry and Richard were so friendly and helpful, going above and beyond to make sure we have a lovely time. We're already talking about when we can come back! Thank you for having us Kerry and...
