Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
A good place to stay to get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. It's close enough to the main roads and town to be easily accessible but just hidden enough in the natural environment to provide the serenity of a getaway. The staff are friendly and willing to assist.
