The location is great. Easy to get to the coast with a lovely ride over the tops (in good weather. Sadly the weather wasn't playing nice this trip). Lots of lovely villages to explore. The food was delicious as always and plenty of it.

We loved the location of the place. The rooms were warm and spacious. The choice of food for the evening meal was great and there were plenty of vegetarian options to choose from. Breakfast was tasty and plentiful and nothing was too much trouble....
