The friendly welcoming staff were excellent, even walking us to our room to show where it was. the grounds were beautiful and well maintained, as was the room. The free laundry facilities were very useful in the middle of an extended holiday. Nice sitting area on the back patio of the room. Beautiful murals on the wall. Most of all, the warm welcoming staff was appreciated.
