Relaxing Stay With Excellent Service

beautiful gardens comfortable seating large choice secure parking
I found the gardens very beautiful and well kept! The grounds included relaxation pods. These had comfortable seating! I enjoyed the large choice at breakfast. I especially liked the hot breakfast options. There was secure on-site parking available. This was very convenient.
The restaurant closed early. This limited dining options one evening!
