We had a nice stay. I really appreciated that they didnt have single use plastic products for shampoo etc. and that the in room snacks included local options like Anytime Toffee. Staff was all lovely, and it didn’t feel like a chain. The location is great, beautiful views from the property and easy to get to/from.

Enjoyed our stay! Quiet except for the clanking of the flags on the flag pole outside of room 120 as that kept my wife awake. Restaurant was nice but they did seem to be disorganized this morning. Our hostess was a lot of help to our server as she had too many tables to cover. I assume you were short staffed this morning for breakfast.
