Outstanding experience all the way around. It was the first time we’ve stayed at a place that was not actively staffed and it turned out to be a great experience. The only issue we had was a lack of hot water in the shower both days - the hot water would stop for a few minutes before coming back which made our showers a bit tricky. In spite of this, we loved the room, the property, and the location.
