This is a lovely place in a lovely place, with lovely and friendly hosts. When in the hot tub you feel like you could be anywhere, though you are near everything you could need - shops, petrol, places of interest. There was nothing that we felt was missing, everything had been thought about. There were no restrictions around the hot tub usage, whic h was brilliant, we used it at least twice a day, and sometimes after 9:30pm.
