It was very lovely. I would go back but just a few things need sorting out and I wouldnt say its the owner I would say. The first thing we liked was the swimming . It was amazing the bbq area was good. The seating area was good. . The cottage was lovely. The lady that runs the place was very nice very helpful always there helping hand. We barely had the windows open but somehow there was always flies in there walking along the floor hitting us in the middle of the night flying around on the walls. Maybe the manager would think about getting some fly traps to help because the flies was really bad, but it doesnt say I wouldnt go back. I definitely would go back there. Its a nice place and nice scenery. There was a masive hole underneath the sink. There was plenty of flies loads of cobwebs loads of dragonflies and very dusty. I couldnt sleep at night time because I kept on getting hit by the flies making noisy in my head and it was so hot in there even though they had fans there should really be air-conditioning in there.
