9.4/10 Exceptional! (49 reviews)

We had a wonderful stay in General. However, there are a few areas that could be improved. First, the sofa bed was uncomfortable. The springs were extremely painful, so I ended up sleeping on the sofa at 3 am. It was still uncomfortable, but tolerable. Second, the pillows were also uncomfortable. Third, the plates and utensils were discolored and chipped. Overall, the cottage was safe and spacious. The location was beautiful, but there was limited parking.
