We have been there last year, right after the opening & had a wonderful time. Caring staff, excellent food and beautiful rooms. Also go on the day trips whilst there that are fully organized by the team. We got great recommendations and insider tips. The cook needs a special callout - we felt like in heaven, a true artist!
