Love the quietness and overall experience but nothing much to do, not even any track to walk around. However I do love the little reading corner. Would suggest business to add on more activities that could be done onsite to encourage longer stay.

Everything about our stay exceeded our expectations, from the staff, room amenities and location we couldn’t have loved it more. The breakfast buffet was one of the best we’ve had and the fact we could bring our dog made it even better. We cannot wait to come back.
