Pamela
We all had a great time, and I'd definitely recommend it to friends. There were a couple of problems, however - the showers didn't get warm in two of the rooms, so I let everyone use ours (!), and the main oven wasn't working at all. However, we found ways around it, and, along with the fab pool, thoroughly enjoyed ourselves!

Set in a beautiful area. Nothing to much trouble for the owners who were very welcoming. A wonderful place to unwind and with the added bonus of the pool. Canât recommend this place enough.
