Absolutely perfect - amazing property we wanted for nothing - everywhere perfectly clean and well equipped. Hosts were very friendly and welcome hamper plus additional extras were very much appreciated. Beautiful home made cake. We stayed in and cooked meals most of the week - equipment was faultless. Gorgeous coffee machine a bit of luxury, plus air fryer very up-to-date. Beds were very comfy we slept very well. Mixed weather - even in November we sat on the balcony in the sunshine reading our books. Other days snow on the mountains all spectacular views. This property is now our number one and we visit many properties during the year! - Well done Anne and Kev - hope to return during the summer months.
