“Much needed break turned to amazing recharge weekend”
The views are exceptional and the fact that you are IN nature whist sitting on you couch made my day. Loads of space for the kids and pets. Swimming pool and table tennis was a hit! Also great size family room for board games at night. The whole place is great for short and long stays. You have everything you may need. Great location. Right in the middle of everything, but absolute peace and silence when you are back. Great host, checked in every day.
