Very helpful staff that visited the house while we were away and prepared fireplace for us after we used wood the day before. Perfect location to explore Savegre forest and this area.

Beautiful house in the middle of the Dota valley. You can't beat having a 180 degree view. The apartment is very modern and clean. Parking is right outside. It's very quiet and we even saw glow worms at night. The area is good for bird watching.

The place is beautiful! Open and spacious with such a beautiful deck for enjoying the spectacular sunrises and sunsets! Close to town so it's an easy walk for anything you need, but off on the edge so it's quiet and surrounded by green.
