“It was spacious, and the bed was very comfy. Kitchen was well equipped. WIFI was less than ideal. Trains and airplanes were close and noisy, but supplied earplugs worked well. .”

“The effort put into welcoming us personally. Thank you, Mike! Huge covered entrance porch. Shoe rack. Heat pump. Heaters in bedrooms. Thoughtfully provided snacks for weary travellers far from the nearest shop. Fresh milk in a jug. Eco friendly....”

“Everything. So cozy, so roomy. It feels like you're at home except nicer. Farm animals around the room are great for any animal lover. Toast for brekkie is an awesome added bonus as well. I will definitely be back.”
