Great! 10/10!

I only get to stay here once a year which is a shame as it’s a lovely place to stay and the food offering is amazing! The rooms are more like small chalets in a separate building, nothing flash but have everything you need and excellent value for money. Highly recommended, looking forward to next stay.
