    “Absolutely beautiful, pet-friendly stay! The rooms were stunning, and the views were absolutely amazing. We'll definitely be back. Our doggos had the time of their lives, which made the trip even more special. Everything exceeded our expectations, and we couldn't have asked for a better few days away. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway with or without their furry friends!”

    “No breakfast provided however all the facilities for you to bring your own provided in the kitchen. The room and the view off the verandah were very good. They also provide another area for all guests to use with all the facilities you need including an open log fire which was amazing. Also it is dog friendly.”

  • We had the most incredible stay here. We weren’t sure what to expect having booked it as the last night on an extension

    “Lovely views from all rooms and the pool was great to escape the heat. We were upgraded (thank you Ian!), so we had a full kitchen which definitely made our stay even more pleasant as the location is fairly remote and really needed to drive anywhere to eat out. We loved eating breakfast on the deck in the morning and then coming back to watch the sun go down with wine & nibblies in the evening. Air conditioning in every room was awesome and definitely needed for a hot February stay.”
