Absolutely stunning location, peaceful & relaxing. The property was beautiful, very clean. Had everything you could need. It was heated at the correct temperature. Slept really well in the very comfortable king size bed. Outside views were wonderful including the alpacas. Lots of places to visit & go to for eating out. We especially loved the stargazing evening we booked. Lots of places to walk & explore. Definitely going back
