Very nice spot and loved the villa. Stayed here before and it was perfect. There was a knocking sound in the gas fire chimney or thereabouts which kept us up and was annoying but otherwise the stay was great.

Great amenities in the villa room, fantastic hill and lake view, clean room and friendly reception service. It would be better if the skytv channels includes movie, as there were no other entertainment or places to go nearby for non golfer guests.

Keen to come back

Staff were super friendly and attentive. They really helped to look after the needs of our sometimes terrible toddler. Dinner was really good with a great selection to choose from. A bit disappointed that there was no a la carte breakfast available (only selction from the continental and hot) still filled us up ready for the days activities and they did make us additional hashbrowns which were really good. The villa/apt we had was spacious and well decorated/furnished. The couch while stylish and chic could have been more snuggly and comfy. The views were great over looking the golf course and up to the mountains. Will be back for sure
