    That's perfectly fine!

    Nature, peace & environment: 5 /5

    We had a wonderfully peaceful weekend getaway with our little daughter and our Ridgeback, who were both able to play freely in the fenced-in garden. The view from the garden of Scottish Highland cattle and donkeys was really lovely! And there are several beautiful hiking areas within a short drive. Our daughter also really enjoyed the Heuveltjes forest swimming area!
