This is a beautiful place to stay, I agree with the reviews saying the photos do not do it justice! Perfect open space for socialising as a family, we loved playing pool and would definitely love to come back!

What a stunning renovation- and perfect location for our family gathering ! Great to have the space in the garden for our dogs, and although we didn’t have enough time enjoying the facilities in the downstairs area as we were out walking/catching up with family locally, it was great to be able to come back and unwind, have a good hot shower ( or bath) and make our hiking picnics for the following day. Beautiful simple decor , we’d love to return next year to explore more of the area.
