I stayed in the 'summer house', which is a beautiful little cottage away from the main house. I would wake up with horses saying hello at my window. I also had the option to stay in a small apartment close to the house… read more

I spent 2 weeks (2nd half of November) in Bornholm with Annette and Brian. Everything was really good: they always asked me if it was fine regarding work, food... I really enjoyed talking with them and other members of the family. I mainly worked in the garden and also helped them in their professional kitchen.
