    We had such a fantastic vacation here. The owners were so sweet, and they paid so much attention to all the kids—there’s so much to do here. The private pony was a huge hit. The kids have been having a blast on the playground all day long. The girls who help out are also super sweet to the kids and make them feel really special by letting them take care of all the animals. It was really, really so much fun!!

    Wat een fantastische vakantie hebben we hier gehad. Super lieve eigenaren, alle aandacht voor alle kids, je kan hier zoveel doen. De eigen pony was een mega hit. Op het speelveld vermaken de kinderen zich al de hele dag. De meisjes die helpen zijn ook super lief voor de kids en zorgen dat ze zich helemaal speciaal voelen met het verzorgen van alle diertjes. Het was echt zo verschrikkelijk leuk!!

    We had a wonderful time at the farm! The hosts were super warm and made us feel welcome straight away. The horses in particular were a highlight - totally lovely and well looked after. Our children loved them and had lots of fun. A great place to switch off and feel good - we would love to come back!
