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.

Cosy, log cabin style, much better than a soulless motel unit. Quiet. Seamless hostless entry. Generally good.
