We came here 8 years ago. We don’t ever go back to the same place because it’s never going to be the same but we’d always this was one of our best holidays. If hasn’t disappointed! It’s such a homely, cosy place that feels just like home. There are really lovely walks of different types right from the door and spectacular walks 40 minutes drive away. There’s a spa and a pub with everything you need and nearby towns with food and cafes. There’s a spa facilities are great. The mattress is good quality but very firm so it that’s a problem for you, you may need to bring something to put over it. It had everything we needed for a thoroughly relaxing break away in nature
