Feb 24, 2026 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Most wonderful holiday accomodation I’ve ever stayed in. It was beautifully decorated, exceptionally well facilitated and equipped and the location was very special. The Estate itself is paradise. We were very lucky to stay during a heavy snowfall, and the warm log burner made all the difference! ##### Sam J.
