All good: staff, hot bath outside (albeit a bit too hot!), very good breakfast, tea/coffee and cooking available in the lobby at all times, but the shower floor design is flawed: the water rolls into the room from under the door. And there is no fridge. In general, very good for the price.

The room was spacious and the beds were comfortable. The breakfast was wonderful with many options! The room could have been a bit cleaner. There was hair on the blanket and also on the shower wall, as if this had not been cleaned so well. The walls are also a bit thin, so make sure to bring ear plugs or use a white noise machine. The hot tub was a nice amenity as well. Overall a decent stay.

Older hotel, well cared for. Clean rooms, clean hotel. Staff were amazing. We were exhausted after our flight and drive and were able to check in early. This meant the world to us. Breakfast was great, wide variety of any breakfast item you could think of.

Delightful from greeting to checkout- great room, nice lobby/sitting/gathering area, very good breakfast, kind staff and beautiful setting. We didn’t try the hot tubs but soaking in the rain seemed to make many peoplehappy.

All the rooms are on the ground level, which makes it easy to come and go. Wonderful breakfast with many options, even dried fruit. We enjoyed seeing the horses. Downside is the halls are tile, which was extremely noisy for rolled suitcases. Even with earplugs, I did not sleep well. Hot tub was not open during convenient hours.
