The staff were incredibly friendly, especially Promise, who made us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. The beds were comfortable, and the kitchen was fully equipped with everything we needed. The hot tub was a fantastic bonus, and the animals added a charming touch to the experience. We even found carrots in the fridge to feed the friendly donkeys, which was a lovely detail. Overall, it was a wonderful stay.
The shower takes a very long time to heat up, and once it does, it’s difficult to balance the temperature—it tends to swing between being too hot and too cold.

Beautiful views, like truly amazing sunset on the mountain with the animals. Peaceful surroundings, yet very close to the town for a great dinner.
Great facilities, the pool was great, our little house had everything you need.
The donkeys were an amazing extra + staff was extremely helpful. Promise was taking such great care of us and we hope great things for him in the future.
Nothing. Only good things

Unfortunately we did not enjoy our stay very much. Although our children liked the animals and the surroundings we left one night earlier than planned. We did so because the cottage wasn’t well maintained and it was overall dirty. There were stains on the cushions, moist spots on the walls, there are many flies too. The pictures on Booking give a much better impression than the real thing.
The overall dirtyness and bad maintaince of the cottage. Also the arrival wasn’t pleasant either: we had to call several times before someone arrived (expensive international calls). Also the baby cot that we asked for for our son was forgotten.
