What a fantastic spot! I was hoping for some place quiet & relaxing where I could enjoy the view with a book and a glass of wine. And I found it! My only regret: not to stay longer!

Everything about this place is amazing! We loved walking around the lavender fields where somehow the view is even better! We felt so welcome our entire stay & loved our welcome drinks! The peaceful sounds of birds chirping while you go to sleep, eat breakfast, sitting out on the patio is beautiful!

Two words: utterly stunning. Love absolutely everything this place has to offer. The view, walks, comfy bed, refreshing lemonade, fragrant soap... Will definitely visit again in the future!

This must be one of the best views we’ve ever had from bed! We had a wonderful Christmas here; everything was perfect, and the house & the farm so well taken care of. We especially appreciated the BBQ! Would love to come back someday!
