    Had an absolutely superb stay and would reccommend this to anyone who is looking for a group getaway!

    Theres everything and more in terms of equipment for catering. The layout is beautiful and everything was clean and the bedrooms super cosy with comfortable beds. Outside the seating areas are perfect for the amazing views especially when sat in the hot tub. Pure bliss. Really stunning location, peaceful yet close enough to take day trips to the more touristy places in the lakes. We were really touched by the basket of goodies that were waiting for us on arrival including fresh bread, preserves, eggs, butter and milk. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and have already recommended to friends. We would love to come back again. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

    It was the customer service of the property that wasn’t great. To have a property that check in hours is defined by the cleaners rules is insane. When I asked to have a later check out I was told it’s the cleaners that define the check in and check out rules and timings. 09;30 check out is utterly disgusting for the amount of money per night I paid. We were barely in the property. Even a 4pm check in…. So silly. I work away and stay in properties all the time and that is by far the worst check in & out time I’ve ever come across. Who wants to be packed and out by 9:30 on a holiday morning. Get more cleaners… use different cleaners. You are a business and certainly shouldn’t have your clients stay effected by your cleaners rules. Also when checking in, the lady was passive aggressive to 1 member of our party. Stupid werid comments made at her made her feel very uncomfortable. And we all couldn’t believe what we were hearing. Chose your words carefully please. People you speak to like that could actually have mental health issues. It wasnt a nice harmonious checkin. :(
