“Excellent.”
Such a beautiful and calm place with all facilities nearby. And best part was your private tub in your room. That was our most favourite this time of the year

“Fabulous place to stay”
Owners were so very welcoming and accommodating, Pool was tepid so still perfect on a 20 degree day. They made every effort to have 3 families beside each other. We will definitely return. Highly recommend

I was running late to check in and sent through a message letting them know. I’ve never been so appreciative to arrive and find an envelope with my name on it, clear friendly instructions, and lights on in my little cabin.

“Great spot to stay with a heated pool”
Very warm welcome. Location great. Able to have adjoining rooms with other family. Pool was heated to lukewarm so fabulous for Easter swimming. Grandkids spent hours in the pool whilst Adults watched from the spa. Lovely grounds
