Nice to have the hot tub and heated floors when we came in from a very long day. Hot tub could be warmer, but nice at the end of the day.

The room we were in was way too hot, with no way to change it other than opening the windows, which let in a lot of biting bugs. There was no cold water; only very hot water came out of the faucets and shower, so we were unable to take a shower or get a glass of cool water.

The cabins accurately match the photos. Wonderful hot tub, excellent aesthetics, check in was easy and accommodating to late check ins upon request. Really satisfied overall. However, the dining table light did not work and neither did the smart TV. Informed staff at reception and they said they will send someone to fix the light, but that never happened. Also spoke with manager (I believe) about the TV not working and he said they were just installed and he was not sure why it didn’t work.
