Really enjoyed our stay here. It was a little hard to get to, but they do the best they can to compensate for less than optimal access. Saff was very friendly and accommodating. Property was very clean and well maintained. Offered complimentary breakfast, but we left before it opened. We would definitely stay there again.

Only reason for 4 stars, our bedroom wall was beside dining room. Breakfast time meant chairs constantly scooting on hard floor, for very early awakening. Window shade was broken and couldn’t be closed completely, allowing unwanted outside light in. Room was very clean.
