The focal point is an enchanting thatched stone cottage, its rustic charm enhanced by a vibrant garden adorned with blooming tulips.

The thatched roof stands as a testament to traditional craftsmanship and architectural heritage. Its intricate design showcases both functionality and beauty, providing shelter while blending seamlessly into its natural surroundings.
