Waking to the sounds of geese and a chicken visiting the garden added a gentle charm to mornings spent enjoying a well-prepared breakfast. Hosts Sandra and David strike a remarkable balance between attentiveness and giving guests their space, making the entire experience feel remarkably welcoming.”
