    “It was a lovely stay and we thoroughly enjoyed it .”

    It was slightly cramped for 4 of us, and we had to live out of our bags as no space to unpack, which we didn't mind as it was only 3 nights. The amenities are all there what you need, though the kitchen was rather chilly in the morning/evening. Absolutely stunning views from the decking and hot tub, it was lovely to sit in the tub and look across the valley to the mountains, if you go slightly up the path you can see the sunrise and the mist in the valley. Highly recommend for a long weekend ...
