Really enjoyed our stay. We only had a cabin room but it was sufficient for the 2 of us for the one night. The staff were very welcoming and friendly. The breakfast was yummy. I’m gluten free but there were many options for me. I’m not celiac but if you are there was sealed gluten free muesli as part of the buffet.

Front of house staff were excellent. If we had known the cabin room was so small we would have upgraded. For the cabin room would recommend the bathroom door be re hung to open the other direction.

Staff was super nice but the room quality could be vastly improved. We could hear people in the rooms around us snorring, talking on the phone, and moving furniture around.

We arrived very early in the morning and the desk clerk gave us a free room upgrade for both of the rooms we'd booked so we could check in way before the 3:00 check in time, which was hugely appreciated!
