The room was good. Only problem was that it was switched at the last min. We were told we would be on the main level with access to the outside from our room. Other than that it was absolutely amazing. The breakfast all three days were amazing and delicious. And the staff were super friendly.

Great alternative to large traditional hotel

The perfect middle ground between larger format hotels, and very expensive air-b&b options Check in staff were excellent. Accommodated a late check in, and were friendly and helpful. The building and the grounds are beautifully up-kept. The design of the room is a little awkward with the shower in the middle of the living space, but that’s the only thing. Hot tub area is private, and super clean too.
