Everything about this stay was excellent, save one key thing: the beds and pillows were rather uncomfortable. Not something that could be addressed immediately by bothering the staff, but something we found ourselves lamenting throughout the days after sleeping on them. Literally everything else was a dream.

The staff was very accommodating, for the most part. There were so unusual moments that I have not experienced elsewhere ( no pool towel provided ,) a large dog onsite barking most of the day with other dogs, and poor internet service. I work from home, so a strong connection was mandatory. The staff tried to accommodate, however the background noise often interfered with meetings. The pictures are also misleading ( loft area is shared / open.) this place is good for a short and quick pit stop, but do no expect much.
