excellent stay with great service

helpful teamconvenient parkinginadequate heating
the reception team was very cute and helpful upon arrival. the breakfast had plenty of options, and staff were always available. the onsite parking was convenient, and the hotel is near key attractions (i found this very useful).
The cottage lacked proper heating. It was cold upon arrival, and the air conditioning units only blew cold air. we needed extra bedding to make the sofa bed comfortable (i had to use towels as a makeshift mattress protector).
