The glamping site is set in a beautiful, picturesque location. I’d especially like to highlight the dining - every dish was delicious, and you could tell that a lot of care went into the menu. Nothing was ever repeated, which was a nice touch.
The only downside for me was that the showers didn’t always work reliably. I hope this will be improved in the future.
