10 / 10Outstanding·Aug 2022
The property is ideal for groups of friends or family. The bedrooms are large and very pleasant, all with en-suite shower rooms. The living space, in a separate barn, is huge and bright with several dining areas and a semi-professional cooking area, which saw a lot of fun team cooking. Outside we made full use of the several dining and relaxing spaces, which allowed for time together or time apart as well. The natural pool is set in an enchanting secluded wooded environment and is very peaceful. We also made much use of the boule pitch, which saw many raucous matches. Thank you Suska and Nico for your great welcome
