Perfect weekend away. Stunning views over the valley, accompanied by a warming fire and moonlit wood-fired bath. Very helpful hosts.

We had such a beautiful time at daisy. Perfect spot to watch sunset and to have a bbq. Such a big space for dog to play and sniff around. Great place for dog parents to have a good time together. Our host Amber had organized all the essentials. I would rate this place 5 out 5 .
