Loved the property and location and views. Prices at lounge and restaurant were reasonable. No AC or Tv in rooms but were comfortable and enjoyed not having the distraction. Noise was a bit of a problem but not at quiet times. All good.

Beautiful grounds, location and view is amazing. Quaint / small queen room with a more antique vibe. Did not eat on site but enjoyed continental breakfast muffins and coffee and cocktails from the bar. Very clean and the staff friendly. We were there at the shoulder season and there was plenty of seating at the pool, on the porches etc. Very dog friendly and most, if not all were well behaved. There are no TVs or AC in the main building but the windows open and there was a ceiling fan as well as a nice oscillating fan in the closet to use. We would definitely stay again.
