Summary: Loved our stay. My husband and teen/adult children all loved this place and would definitely go back again. The kids fished twice a day (although didn’t catch anything 😉) and we enjoyed having so much space! We visited the brewery, the broom factory and enjoyed some thrift shopping in town. We had a big cook up for breakfast one morning and sat and ate in the garden whilst watching the cows and listening to all the birds. Great family get away. Thanks Brett.
