A hidden gem
Pros:

It was just stunningly beautiful, staff were very helpful and had very good English. When my room didn't have a coffee machine they were happy to provide a kettle. Restaurant food was amazing, they were happy to provide a simple meal when asked for one of our party. Snacks were available in the bar, and the breakfast range was super.

Cons:

The overall location and views once there are incredible. The road there however is not for the faint hearted when following Google maps.
