Chose this due to the location And the benefits of the health spa We were disappointed that the health spa was not on site as when booking it was advertised but this has been changed On arrival the hosts are most accommodating and very friendly, Property is outstandingly clean through out . Breakfast has a lot of choices which is nice and very good quality My only gripe is not a fan of pre ordering and specific times

Great experience from start to end. Great goat. Comfy bed and superb breakfast. It’s limited in that you have to specify what time you want it which is within a specific window but that was fine for us. Enjoyed it and would return
