fantastic facilities, some very slight drawbacks

tv offering gym facility quality linen sauna facility

i stayed in a four-bedroom house. the facilities are appreciable, especially the tv offering netflix and prime video and Wi-Fi. i found iron, all cooking tools, cutlery, and crockery. the rooms were clean with quality linens and there were four of them. the indoor pool, sauna, gym, and soft play were also an addition. it nearly was like home.

the cottage LOOKS dated. the resort feels a little unkempt. parking near the units was somewhat disorderly.

the cottage had a clean living area and comfortable beds. the gym had several treadmills and stationary bikes. the staff quickly replaced a broken oven and offered a free meal.

The cottage felt a little old in some spots. It could use some updates.
