    We were limited to use the kitchen I feel that was an area we struggled with, I had to ask every time I needed to cook if there was an option for people who want to cook it would be wonderful, grateful that we were allowed to use their barbecue stand though, Overall it caters more for people who eat takeout

    Liked everything the cleanliness of the room and bathroom,the view the quietness of the area the hosts very lovely people, breakfast served on time every single day

    One of the best accommodations I've ever stayed at
    • Leisure trip
    • Family with young children
    • Deluxe Double or Twin Room with Mountain View
    • Stayed 3 nights

    So many highlights, where do I start? The location is stunning, the views are superb, the room is spacious and very well equipped with everything you might need. Even a tray with tea supplies and glasses in the wardrobe. There is also a mini-fridge, some supplies and coffee in the corridor, for those late night snacks. The breakfast in the morning is nourishing and with the views :) However, the main highlight is the owners, Richard and Diane, who are such friendly and welcoming people that we felt completely at home. If you're considering this accommodation, don't doubt - it will be a wonderful experience. We will definitely be back!

    Can't really be changed now and owner realises could have put kitchenettes in rooms rather than a simplified approach.

    Friendliness and breakfast was awesome. Spa under the stars with a view was a stand out experience.
