“What struck me most was the genuine sense of seclusion and thoughtful comfort here, a welcome departure from more conventional stays. The grounds themselves, particularly with the fire pit and garden views lit at night, create an almost magical atmosphere, and the practicalities like comfortable beds and the option of a kitchenette in some rooms are well-considered touches.”
