"Well appointed clean, modern room with everything you need for a stay. Comfy bed! Very friendly and welcoming staff. Generoua breakfast supplies provided. We loved sitting on the deck enjoying the wine as the sun went down and doing a sunrise walk amongst the vines with our dog. Will definitely stay ..."
