A beautiful location to stay

Our stay at this apartment was lovely, the listing is as it describes. We stayed 3 weeks which is a long time, everything was clean and we had everything we needed. We were not able to change the sheets as there were no spare and we had to get a second set of towels as there was no dryer to dry them after washing and they would have not been nice to use after drying on the horse. Otherwise, a lovey apartment and definitely would recommend staying at this location.
