10/10 Excellent
"A quaint little cottage easy walking to everything. The cottage was very cosy. We had a lovely stay. We definitely enjoyed the electric blankets and the extra heaters. Everyone in Walhalla were extremely friendly and made us so welcome. A huge thanks to Astrid, Richard and their team for making our visit to our great grand parents home town so memorable. We just loved it"
