Absolutely love it. So peaceful and the surroundings are outstanding. Only one point to make (not a criticism). There IS a dishwasher at this property which is not mentioned in your listings. An added bonus for us as who wants to wash up on holiday. I'm sure future guests would appreciate knowing this.
