I stayed here a few months ago and could not fault this place, however at my recent stay the AC was dripping all night, which they had placed a towel underneath it to mop water up.

Enjoyed our fourth stay however have noticed a slip in quality overall in the accommodation I.e care of gardens, rooms and general facilities though I’m excited to see what new management has to offer as they are keen, kind and very embracing. Thank you again for your hospitality and kindness.

Lovely rooms with a beautiful view over small lake. Manager very polite and helpful. We received a wonderful gift box from the owners as we were on our honeymoon. There was a pool ,hot tub and I believe Kayak hire if you want it Bargain accommodation that exceeded expectations.

The price is way too much for this sort of “resort” a bit of a...
