Disappointing to say the least.

3.0

The location is pretty.

Despite knowing we were 2 adults (my daughter,herself a mother of 4, and I) and required two separate rooms, they gave us a one bedroom chalet and a bunk bed in the kitchen area. It was also freezing and nowhere near enough blankets were provided. Only one bunk bed had bedding. The electricity went off during the night (no fault of theirs) but no provision of a gas heater to take the edge off. Totally overpriced and the reception was poor. This was a special mother/daughter occasion (that I informed them of ahead of the time) that was marred by quite simple to fix details.

Beautiful property and peaceful

If you like sun, cottage no 3 is not for you - WIFI is very poor in that room. Have to sit outside to get signal. The fact the it is pet friendly, careful for those who travel with the pets, the owners dog attacked mine for no reason.
