## Our read

The landscape does the work, and it stays small enough to feel like a house rather than a hotel.

## Come here for

- Small groups and solo travellers who dislike crowds
- Wildlife and landscape first, comfort second
- Sleeping outdoors without giving up a real bed
- Walking every day and sleeping hard

## Skip it if

- You want resort scale, with several restaurants and a crowd to disappear into
- Early starts and long drives are not your idea of rest
