Great stay, would recommend
Warm and welcoming place. Clean on our arrival and a nice touch to have the lamps and heatpump turned on for our arrival.
Big garage, a great space for friends or family. A great outdoor area, which we enjoyed even in the cooler weather and the added bonus of a hot tub. Would stay again.
