We had a magical stay for my birthday. The staff were so friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. The rooms were excellent, so comfortable, and the food was superb. There is a good choice of activities at the hotel, it was built as a hunting lodge. The weather didn't put us off walking up to the view point. However, our last day was in sunshine and we could see the full grandeur of this magnificent area. We'll definitely be back.
