We were most impressed by the facilities provided in the property which was spacious and clean located in a spectacular valley. Unfortunately the weather made life difficult with strong winds for all of our stay. However as they say thems the breaks and we did find one sympathetic fish that will encourage us to come back again.

A very well equipped lodge, with lots of space and very comfortable. Set in really beautiful scenery. Very helpful and friendly hosts, and couldn't recommend it highly enough.
