Check in was quick and efficient, with all available staff offering excellent hospitality. We found the lounge and outdoor patio area particularly enjoyable! Gas fired fireplace and a full moon over the buildings were a highlight! The morning breakfast was wonderful with hot entrees of eggs, sausage and potatoes.
