What customers say
Owners are praised for being friendly and accommodating. Guests love the beautiful views, on-site restaurant/cafe, and dog-friendly vibe. Facilities are clean and functional, though some find them basic and a bit sloped. Occasional road/camper noise and Wi-Fi/pitch issues in wet weather are noted by a few.
