Enjoyed a relaxing stay with my family. Friendly staff and the accommodation had everything we needed and and was very comfortable. Beautiful surroundings and plenty to do in the area, although we hardly left the pool as it was so refreshing and next door to our cottage. We loved it! Ek definitely return in the near future.
