8.4/10 Very Good! (993 reviews)
Overnight stay in a spa cabin at Glen Villa Resort. Basic accommodation but the spa was a great extra, and the location was perfect. Very quiet but less than 10 minutes walk into town. Downside - Comms not great (WiFi poor and mobile signal patchy). And a hairdryer would’ve been useful.
