Very friendly gave us lots of local information on places to see. Lodges were very well thought out and well maintained. Will very likely be back again for another stay.

The owners were very friendly and had numerous helpful suggestions about things to see and do in the area. They even managed to arrange glorious sunshine for our whole stay!

Owner was welcoming and helpful and we appreciated the gifts in the fridge. :-) Everything was really well organised, providing a great app that gave a lot of very useful information before we arrived. Very clean, warm and cosy. Nicely decorated inside and clever use of the space. Great hot and powerful shower. Hot tub was great. Self catering is very limited with no oven and a tiny space to make anything so be prepared to eat out more and itâs definitely more suitable for couples than families. Liked the fact there was a quiet curfew so didnât have to worry about noisy neighbours. Spectacular location with incredible views. Weâd definitely return!
