Wow, wow, wow! This was the best place that we have ever stayed at! Spectacular view of the mountains, beautiful cottage, excellent cleaning service, friendly staff. Just loved the horses and zebra that welcomed us upon arrival. The zebra came to visit our cottage every night. Will definitely be back! Kind Regards, Mr and Mrs Apsey.
