Great location especially for children. Access straight onto the forest, with easy access to Ringwood, Moors Valley and other attractions Attention to a few minor details would have made our stay perfect; such as better mattresses and pillows, a clean BBQ and extra towels for the spa. Timo was very helpful and obliging and we would love to come back for another stay.
