Location had beautiful scenery. Staff was friendly and helpful. Breakfast was good and had gluten free options. I enjoyed a short walk into town.
Standard Double Room was very small. There was no walking space. The bathroom design was poor. There was no where for soap in the shower. The lighting in the room was dreadful. The bedside lamp was too poor to read by.
