Roomy with nice staff and parking onsite. The interior was slightly aged, and could have used with some (any) decoration. Generally clean and tidy. Would have appreciated if the toiletries provided were something other than 3-in-1.

The kids enjoyed the hot tub & pool! There was plenty of space to stretch out. The upstairs took awhile to cool down. We loved the flowers and the Camelot themes. Overall a nice and quaint stay!

Good location. A bit of TLC needed re paint etc but okay. Shame the one bedroom with the queen didn't have a door to shut it off from hearing others come through to the bathroom. Other than that the stay was perfect!
