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...
