We couldn't have asked for a better location. Very peaceful and quiet with lovely views and a very private hot tub to enjoy. Both the inside and outside of the property would benefit from a bit of tlc. The furnishings were pretty basic and neither of the sofas or the bed were very comfortable. We were a little disappointed overall.

Great stay. Nice quiet area where you can connect with nature and easily travel out to lots of locations. Great for families and those with dogs as good sized enclosed garden to play. Clean and well equipped, would definitely recommend.
