Beautiful views
We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful property! The views were absolutely stunning and exceeded expectations. Having direct access to the water at the bottom of the garden was such a treat, and we loved making use of the kayaks. There was a small mix-up upon arrival, but it was handled quickly and professionally, so it didn't impact the experience at all. We'd go back in a heartbeat highly recommend!"
