Traveller reviews

“Family friendly haven with stunning views”
17 Jul 2025
What an incredible place to stay! Our kids loved the farm animals, the trampoline and basketball hoop and we all loved the hot tub! Delicious fresh produce for breakfast and great views. Wish we had time to stay longer! Thanks for having us Jen :)

“Comfortable accomodation in beautiful, relaxing surroundings.”

Spa pools, lovely room, beautiful surroundings and fantastic breakfast.

“Tranquil retreat which meets every travellers needs”
17 Jul 2025
The property sits just below the mountains which provide the most beautiful backdrop to the property. The communal areas are excellent and exceptionally spacious. My room was so cosy and well decorated that I felt like I was staying at home. The couple who run the property are so friendly and helpful and their dogs are just adorable. The property has so many options for outdoor seating, it also has two hot tubs that you can make use of to relax and look at the stars. Finally there are on site laundry facilities which are included in the cost of your room which I thought was a real bonus! If you are looking for an extremely comfortable, relaxing, modern and clean stay I would highly recommend here.
