Feeling a bit stir crazy 🤪 maybe spent too much money on shoes! Well boots 👢

That's me, yesterday... Feeling a bit stir-crazy lately, anyone else? 🤪 The four walls are starting to close in, and my soul is craving some wide-open spaces. Check my wellies don't leak and are up to climbing mountains, like a goat 🐐

Think rolling hills, babbling brooks, and maybe even a picnic or two. 🧺 And of course, Ibring along your favorite people 😉 Get ready for some silly shenanigans, questionable dance moves, and maybe even a spontaneous sing-along. 🎤
Ditch the screens and embrace the great outdoors.
We sleep 8 over 4 bedrooms 🛌.
