“Lovely stay with my family and kids. Only thing which I found bit funny. When description says "secret garden",you expect it will be very private. All other guests had to pass by our house to reach their own accommodation.😂 Which is not a problem, but probably shouldnt call a place secret😅 Anyway I would recommend and would come back myself! Thank you.”
