1)The hostess was very friendly. For breakfast, she prepared fresh eggs from the farm, as well as milk, snacks, etc. 2)The room is equipped with a comprehensive range of brand - new facilities. Amenities such as a washing machine are all readily available. The room is immaculately tidied, and the bed offers a comfortable sleeping experience. 3)The farm has only one guest suite with a separate entrance and exit. There is no disturbance at all, and it is very quiet at night. 4)The hostess also invited us to visit the farm, have close contact with the horses, pick fruits, etc. My son was very happy and misses this experience very much.

Very beautiful and stylish layout, especially the dining area. The host family must be real artists! Really like their taste of the beddings. And the room is so warm that we were sweating at night!

This place is within a comfortable walking distance from both the airport and several budget friendly car hire places, with a self check in process that meant I could check in at 2AM without causing any bother. The room is immaculately clean and comfortable, and the bed in the room is perhaps (not kidding) one of the comfiest I’ve ever slept in. There’s even a kitchen with free tea, coffee and bread. This place truly is a homestay, and a brilliant one at that. Steven is a friendly guy.

No breakfast but lovely hosts with very comfortable bed, a small lounge and bathroom. Warm, and inviting. Hosts have a small dog who has his own delightful happy personality. Easy to praise the hosts and the accommodation. The accommodation is situated in a relatively new subdivision of quality homes.
