Breakfast was great, fresh and generous. Room was spacious, well-equipped and had everything needed, including a little kitchenette and table if I were to dine in. Outside pool area was a lovely addition and a great spot for an afternoon wind down. Sylvie and Zack were very forthcoming in helping with questions and printing and did a very thorough intro to the property and facilities. They gave an option of two rooms, sharing benefits of each to allow a considered choice.

My room was neat and clean with a kitchenette. I enjoyed breakfast. The coffee was particularly good!

Breakfast could have been a bit more comprehensive such as no yoghurt or meisies available, no cold meats or cheeses, The coffee was fantastic though ! The fried eggs and bacon sausage etc was excellent .
