10/10 Excellent
"The front desk people were so friendly and helpful about all my questions about what to do and best places to dine in. The place is amazing, very close to the town, but far enough to have a quiet and relaxing night after your busy day! The cottage was very clean and spacious with the basic facilities. I will definitely go back"

"Was given a third floor jr suite with huge patio. It was an end unit which is a preferred location for quiet and privacy. Did not like the $30 a night to use the parking lot (?) figured it would be a given since I am staying there. All in all I would go and stay again."

"The room and property was clean. We stayed here about 10 years ago, it has definitely aged and has wear and tear since then. Carpet was loose and bunched up in my room. Also fire alarm was beeping constantly. Breakfast was just okay, I would have preferred to eat in a dining area instead of the bedroom"
