Booked a last minute weekend away without even looking or caring where we went and have to say we were so pleased when we got here. Went for the half board deal, breakfast was nice, dinner was delicious but the cheeseboard - I want to go back just for that!! We were in one of the apartments and the place was so cosy and warm with everything that we needed and plenty of space.
