"Such a beautiful wee getaway! Lynne was probably the most realistic host in terms of being "pet friendly" that i have come across - she very clearly knows how dogs behave and doesn't have unrealistic expectations around things like barking at other animals, the fencing was safe, and Lucy had the best time.The warm snuggly fire was perfect for the cold evenings, and we loved the outdoor baths. Having our chosen wine ready on arrival, as well as lots of beautiful wee touches around the place.Such a great weekend getaway, thank you so much!"

"Warm, cosy, and impeccably clean, this accommodation was perfectly located within easy walking distance of the pools. The outlook was breathtaking, with uninterrupted mountain views beautifully dusted in snow. The reception staff were exceptionally friendly, which made a real difference to our stay. We would happily return, and our grandchildren absolutely loved it as well. Deirdre and Kit."
