Bootiful scenery. Staff very welcoming. Got a shot of some rare whisky on the house, more that one shot. Arrived after having forgotten my swimming trunks and got given one by the boss son. Food was good as well. Overall very nice, was able to set up my shisha pipe by the poolside.

We booked in very last minute and found this beautiful hotel! It's set in stunning scenery, very peaceful, lovely outdoor pool and delicious breakfast. The owners, Sarah and Steve are very friendly and welcoming and we would definitely recommend this hotel.

Fantastic! Sarah and Steve made us feel so welcome - nothing was too much trouble. The hotel is beautifully kept - everything is sparkling clean and in good repair. The quality and variety of the breakfast was amazing, and we ate dinner a couple of times and had sandwiches at lunch. All food was first class! The rooms were spacious and comfortable, the swimming pool was heated and clean. Overall a fabulous experience and we will definitely return.
