Good location
Pros:

We had a 2 bedroom cottage. The beds were good, kitchen well stocked.

Cons:

The place was slightly dated. I would have liked a better sitting area at the front of our cottage.

Nothing special, but very adequate. Nice restaurant on property.
Pros:

Nice location. Great to have a restaurant right there for dinner and breakfast. The staff were very good.

Cons:

The room was comfortable and simple. That's what we expected. So it wasn't bad, just nothing special.
