Beautiful vineyard
Loved our stay at Kinross cottage. Room was beautiful as was the view. Bathroom spacious with great water pressure. Ducks rabbits and birds added natural beauty to this location. View was gorgeous! Pear and blue cheese pizza and wine tasting were excellent!

This place is amazing. If it wasn’t on the other side of the world from where I live, I’d be planning my next visit. The cottages were gorgeous and well equipped. The setting was superb. It was dead of winter during our visit so very quiet. We did enjoy the hot tub and the stars…. Breakfast was good and staff went out of their way to make us feel welcome and happy. Oh, and great wine too! Wish we’d had more time to taste more wine and explore all there is to do in this area. The biking was fantastic though. Thank you, Kinross for a memorable stay!

Love the little wood cottage vibe very much, the size of the cottage is good and they have everything you need. Sunset time strolling around the vineyard and pond is superb too.
