"Scott the host was extremely welcoming and showed us around the property. He made great suggestions for places to visit in the area and to dine out and left us with a detailed map. The room was very cosy and we enjoyed the hot tub. Everything was very clean and comfortable and we loved the sounds of the river next to the room. Would highly recommend. "
