"My wife and I had a great time here. We will definitely come back."

"Lovely stay, very accommodating. Breakfast and evening meal staff were great. Breakfast was plenty and of great standard. Evening meal had lots of variety giving us choice for the three nights we stayed. We also hired bikes locally that were waiting at the hotel. Even large glass windows in the dinning and breakfast area to look out at the baby rabbits and over to Jura on clear days "
