Postcard perfect views
Wildflowers is a darling little house in the middle of a cottage garden, with grape vines and olive trees just outside the carefully trimmed hedges. Perfect place for sitting and soaking up the mountain and river scenery. (Highland cattle included in the scenery.) The house is equipped with all the things you need to cook a hearty dinner and then to relax by the fire.

Wildflower Farm experience
Beautiful outlook from a very comfortable home. Owners very nice and helpful with eateries in the area. We enjoyed feeding the chickens with our scrapes before we left. We would recommend Windflowers Farm for a lovely relaxing stay. We loved our stay and would stay again when in this area

Lovely place for a family getaway!
We had a great few days with our family. The property is peaceful with breath taking views. Plenty of room inside and out, we even took the family dog along. Bruce and Leonie were accomodating with anything we needed. We thoroughly enjoyed our short stay at Windflowers!

Jackpot!
We needed somewhere to stay with our 3 dogs for a couple of nights before we could move into our new home. Well we really hit the jackpot with Windflowers! Our dogs were secure and welcome. The house is cosy and warm and the view from the living area is magnificent as are the stunning gardens. We were very comfortable with everything we needed including bacon, eggs and OJ in the fridge. Thank you Leonie and Bruce.
