We had such a lovely stay! The place is beautifully decorated and really well stocked, from diffusers and soaps to a retro radio that added a nice touch. Our dog loved the treatsand the hot tub was deep, warmand super easy to use - it was preheated for us which was a bonus. The host was genuinely kind and thoughtful, making us feel welcome. No WiFi wasn't a problem at all, just tethered to our phones. Definitely coming back to this romantic retreat!
