Like this property. The rooms are big and very comfortable. The only thing we were disappointed about was because it being Christmas Day on our first morning our room was not serviced and we had no dry towels or clean washcloths on our 2nd morning. We understand the holiday problem but fresh towels could have been left for us. Other than that all was good and would stay again.

We loved this quaint british-style pub and hotel. Its a bit old school but that definintely adds to the charm. The nearby sculture garden is also a fun stop worth the time, as it feels pretty unique to wander through the primordial forest looking at scultures planted around...

What l like is already mentioned in the boxes above but just one thing I didn't like about the room we were in, no fan or ventilation system in the shower to get rid of the steam and clear the mirror. Otherwise everything else is great 👍☺️
