Booked this as a family getaway as my family from Canada were visiting. Wanted something a little different so booked the giraffe enclosure. Lovely place, very tranquil and some great walks. Found a farm and bought some lovely fresh eggs. The hot tub and fire were lovely. We had a great time. Didnt use the spa its very expensive (75 each) for what Read moreis offered. All in all we had a good time. Hide
