“Peter's guesthouse was incredibly cozy and relaxing. The perfect balance of unplugged and rural with just the right creature comforts. Peter was so thoughtful and offered personal touches like homemade bread and salts for the bathtub (which of course, was the main draw for me anyway). The bathroom really is *that* incredible! It's half the space and i must've spent at least half my time in there. The location feels very rural (lots of cow and sheep-peeping!) but not far from stores, food etc. Thank you, Peter, for a lovely stay!”
