Pros:

POSTO PER VILLEGGIATURA !
IL MIO ERA UN VIAGGIO DI LAVORO PER CUI E' STATO BELLO INTERROMPERE LA ROUTINE
ALBERGO CON CAMERE NEL CORPO CENTRALE E NEL LODGE DISTACCATO A 100 MT PIU' SOTTO VICINO AD UN FIUME, PAESAGGIO E ATMOSFERA FANTASTICA

Cons:

L'UNICO DISAGIO - MA SOLO SE SI HA FRETTA - E' LA DISTANZA DALLE CAMERE DEL LODGE RISPETTO AL CORPO CENTRALE DELL'ALBERGO
PER LA COLAZIONE SI FA RIFERIMENTO ALLA STRUTTURA PRINCIPALE
PER LA CENA CI SI PUO' AVVALERE DELLA SMOKEHOUSE, RISTORANTE A FIANCO DEL LODGE CHE OFFRE UNA GRAN BELLA VISTA SUL FIUME

Nice peaceful weekend retreat
Pros:

The room was nice size, plenty of parking, the EV charger was free which was good, the food in the smokehouse was nice, and location was nice and peaceful

Cons:

The Site is quite untidy like a building site, not too noticeable. The bathrooms could do with modernising. And there is no main light in the room, lighting is quite poor.
