A perfect location only a short drive to the lake at boness. The hosts could not have been more welcoming and being informed that we could get 15% off a number of restaurants in the town was an added bonus, we plumped for the spar room with a jacuzzi bath and a four poster bed and the breakfast was hot freshly prepared and plenty of it All in all a 1st class hotel would definitely recommend and we'll be back before to long
