Beautiful, exceptional views. The open plan layout was excellent, making the most of the views. Great hot tub and cosy with wood burner to warm up after wards. The owner was very helpful and replied quickly to any questions. The 'average' home comfort feedback was due to the creaky beds, the single bed mattress was dipped in the middle. However for a short break I will definitely go back.
