The place was amazing and didn't disappoint as we were especially keen on enjoying the Games Shack as a family. There's a great choice of games and it was great to see our children playing and enjoying the same games we did in our youth, rather face-planted on their iphones for the duration. On arrival we were even greeted with a welcoming Valentines assortment of bubbly, chocolates and rose petals on our bed! On our first night we struggled to get the hot tub going but the hosts came out and fixed it within 10 minutes which is indicative of the service we experienced from the hosts throughout our stay. In fact we were so impressed with the service of the hosts and the place itself that I have recommended this place to family, friends and even clients.
