Paul was so friendly! He gave us some tips for wedding venue options and even helped us with a jump start when our car battery died on our first morning! The region gets a bit cold at night (in winter) but we had plenty of wood to keep the fireplace going, even throughout the night! The house is located in the woods so it is super quiet, which makes for a relaxed stay. Our girls loved playing outside and going on bush walks. They also loved that there were animals nearby, especially getting daily visits from Pepper and Lulu (Paul and Anita's dog and cat). We loved staying there, thanks!
