Velani Country Hotel

Lucy and Lois have both visited Velani Country Hotel.

Lois writes “I found Velani Country Hotel to be a relaxing place for all. The choice of riding programmes means that all levels of rider ability can have a good time, and non-riders can sit back and enjoy the hotel too.

The owners are passionate about the beautiful scenery where the hotel is located, and have taken time to design the hotel and restaurant so that the view is almost always visible. The hotel’s restaurant uses the freshest ingredients possible and it is popular among those who live on the island.

It is easy to see how this is a popular destination for both families, groups of friends, and the solo traveller.”
