    We absolutely loved our week spent here. It was wonderfully clean and cosy with breathtaking views out the windows. Particularly appreciated how well equipped it was which made cooking dinners easy, not to mention the shower was lovely and the bed so comfy. It is a perfect place for peace and quiet, a feeling of wildness to the area which is just so lovely. When we return to the area, this will be the place we book for sure.
