We had a nice stay. I really appreciated that they didnt have single use plastic products for shampoo etc. and that the in room snacks included local options like Anytime Toffee. Staff was all lovely, and it didn’t feel like a chain. The location is great, beautiful views from the property and easy to get to/from.
