Upon driving up was not so sure. Quickly greeted by happy, helpful staff. (Sarah) Everything from beginning to end was great. Pool was warm and relaxing. Sarah was always around offering assistance, towels, ice, drinks, directions and suggestions for food etc. If ever back this way will def. stay again.

The concept is good, but the property is not well maintained. The room was very damp and musty. Feet were black from walking on floor. Pool did not work the entire stay. Small, flimsy curtain did not keep out light at night. Bed was comfortable and it is about 15 minutes walk (up hill) to town.
