We took this little get away as a rest day since I’m recovering from surgery. Unfortunately, we had a family next to us the at least 6 people in the room and they were so loud. The tv was blaring, parents screaming and children crying. We had enough and at midnight we packed up and drove two hours back home. So this put a damper on the trip.

Excellent. Funky vibe. Lovely outdoor areas to order drinks and delicious wood fired pizza. The only negative I have is rooms are slightly small for two people with large bags. I would definitely book again.
