The owners keep the property up to a very high standard, always busy, location is ideal, close to local attractions with good routes, but enough out the way to be peaceful. The local walks are great, plenty of wildlife, top the day off with a nice soak in the well maintained hot tubs. Beautiful.
Area a bit in the middle of nowhere but a lovely quiet area. Owners were on hand whenever you needed them. The accommodation was a proper home from home very comfortable.

Great location, settled in the hillside.
Great location, settled in the hillside. Friendly owners who would do anything to help. Lovely lodge for a quiet escape and chill in the hot tub. Used the pool and sauna for a small fee, which was clean and lots of fun.
