Overall lovely stay

Room was clean and staffs are extremely friendly. Parking space was small but plenty of off road parking. Food in the restaurant was delicious. There was a drone flying around which was a bit annoying though.

Great views, welcoming folks, fresh towels every day, friendly housekeeping. Good information about history of area and property - the accommodation would indicate a new property, but actually a historic location with some history to tell. One server was a descendant of the original property owner so could tell a lot to fill in. Food was good, but charged a surcharge for 'labor day' weekend to all diners - that came as a bit of a shock. Not a lot of other diners in the area, but it didn't matter to us.
