Absolutely stunning location, peaceful and relaxing place. The property was beautifully decorated, very clean, had everything you could need. It was heated at the correct temperature. The bed was extremely comfortable, slept so well. The Alpacas were a delight to watch. We enjoyed exploring the area, there is so much to see and do. Especially the stargazing!
