wood fireplace wood fired hot tub comfortable restaurant
The room included a wood fireplace.. A wood fired hot tub provided relaxation after exploring the estate. Breakfast had many options, and I could comfortably eat at the restaurant, since pork was absent.
The activity board was uninspired and showed the same spa treatment every day.

Mixed experience. Needs improvement

filthy hot tub included package
The staff was generally friendly. That was acceptable.
The hot tub was filthy upon arrival. I had to ask for it to be cleaned, though it was supposedly included in the package. Nobody took responsibility for this oversight, frustrating.
