Everything really needed a lot of maintenance. The cabin we stayed in some lights did not work, the shower was also not great.

Pros:

1. The peacefulness of the place
2. The nature part things
3. The fact that the water was never cold

Cons:

1. The kitchen soap that doesn't clean the dishes
2. The fact that there was no dish cloth
3. House keeping that doesn't come on Sundays.
4. The single beds that kept moving apart with small blankets as if your accommodating one instead of two people (couple)

Dissapointed
Pros:

The waiters in the restaurant was excellent, always friendly

Cons:

We had problems with our foood and Corlea forgot to follow up with the restaurant to ensure that the restaurant had our table ready for my husband's 60th birthday, the waiters did not know about the special arrangement and was so nice when they heard it was his birthday and went out of their way to make it special and not even a sorry from Corlia, very disappointed. We were there midweek and there was not a lot of people, they could not provide some of the dishes on the menu, they did not even have mushrooms the one night and we had to send our food back twice and order something else. The Rondawels needs a make over, not bad, but bathrooms need some attention and I reported the rails on the steps to the Rondawel as being loose and when we left after 4 days it was still not fixed. Not very safe
