- VVictoria2 Sep, 2023about providerMy partner and I visited this place shortly after the New Year. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay there in every aspect. The family do an amazing job of welcoming guests and creating a homely atmosphere. The accommodations were charming and cozy, providing a peaceful retreat. The six rooms were thoughtfully designed to blend with the surroundings and were constructed using family designs, showcasing a labor of love. Instead of air conditioning, the rooms were naturally cooled at night while windows and shutters remained closed during the day, a more cost-effective and eco-friendly approach that we appreciated. The highlight was the communal living area with board games, a record player, and a long table where guests could relax and talk. Lin graciously prepared delicious homemade meals. Breakfasts were impressive too, featuring fresh produce, fruits, and homemade bread. Both my partner and I enjoyed horse riding, witnessing the excellent care provided to the horses and the exceptional guidance offered to riders of varying skill levels. It was a perfect getaway, and we will definitely return.2 Sep, 2023
