Lovely stay, staff is so friendly and helpful. Room and community spaces were clean, nice pool and hot tub, warm cookies, hot chocolate, nice breakfast and great location. Only wish is that the single use items they provide, (cups, table wear, shampoo/conditioner), were replaced with more eco friendly versions.
