Great location and beautiful property. They seemed understaffed and the staff was stressed and out of breath and dismissive. I had two children in strollers and requested a bottom floor, they asked if there was another accommodation I would like even though they were fully booked. There was children’s bikes advertised as an amenity which they did not have available and the man seemed very confused when asked about it. I would stay here again for the convenience and size of the rooms, but without the expectation that I could rely on high quality service or children’s amenities.

Very centrally located, helpful courteous staff, very clean room. Convenient restaurant & can make picnic lunches to go. Room just a bit crowded for 4 adults, and sofa bed squeaks when moving on one side, but we would stay there again.
