Food options were good! We enjoyed pizza at a local restaurant - can't remember the name. The hotel had a spa, which we did use and it was very relaxing. The staff were very informative. Our hotel was spacious and perfect for what we needed.

The property was great. The only thing was that there was a barn right next to the property and the smell of manure was strong. This meant we could have the window open to let in fresh air when we were sleeping.

This was a really special stay. The room was comfortable, clean and airy. We had lovely views of the mountain side. The staff were very welcoming and the meals were delicious. We had breakfast each day in the restaurant and there was plenty of choice of both hot and cold breakfasts. We had dinner on the first night and I had the kamb. It was the best lamb I have ever tasted. I would recommend having at least one dinner at the hotel. The staff were always welcoming and helpful. I would definitely recommend this hotel.
