Stayed with my 2 boys {12+15} with the little wood land, access to lake Melvin, lots of outside space they had so much fun exploring. This is a place for couples, families, an artist's retreat, anyone that loves nature and exploring. Close to some many towns with lots to offer. Henry is a generous, helpful host. With a huge welcome pack, games, books, dvds and more available. This is a magical place, but with all the facilities and mod cons you need. A haven, will definitely be back again.
