Reviews
Karen and Emma were amazing hosts who went above and beyond during our stay. The cabin was amazing and had everything that you needed. Karen suggested a walk to go on, which we did and it had a beautiful view.
Thank you so much for our amazing stay, the homemade breakfast is a great way to start the day, and the homemade pizza is an even better way to end it! The cabin was so cosy and Karen and Emanuela were absolutely fantastic hosts, they couldn't have been more friendly and helpful. We would absolutely love to stay there again and couldn't recommend it more! Thank you so much!
We had a wonderful stay at emanuela and Karen's beautiful cottage. landscape was gorgeous (even in the rain) and they were lovely - pizza was delicious!
Thank you for having us. We had the best time. A beautiful cabin and the surroundings are stunning! Thank you for the delicious food too! What a treat! We will definitely be back!
