Amazing farm estate, beautifully run and managed. Super staff. Great facilities within the estate.
Our retreat cottage was lovely, comfortable, clean and great location. I would however say the kitchen needs to be better equipped- lack of utensils and glasses; also bedrooms very small. I feel the cottages could be styled to a higher standard.

The Champagne cottage was very spacious, comfortable and clean. We felt very much at home. The view of the mountains from the back terrace was beautiful. The property was private and peaceful. It was removed from the main resort facilities, which required a car/ shuttle to get to. There were fans in the rooms, but no functioning AC. Having a clothes washer was much appreciated.
