Amazing property tucked away in the heart of the valley surrounded by mountains. Beautiful and helpful staff that attended to our every need. Favourite part was the wine and cheese in the drawing room each evening, very special place we will be back :)

Very friendly staff. Nice home cooked breakfasts. Didn’t seem like the place was very full which could be a positive or negative depending on what vibe you are looking for.
