It was clean and tidy and well designed by we found the sleeping space was too close to the eves which made getting in and out tricky and a wee bit hairy in the middle of the night. On the third night we moved to one of the Challets, which was pretty special. Cool design and outdoor bath. Good brekkies included. ##### Chris M.
