Luxury at an affordable price
Spacious room, enormous bathroom, spotlessly clean and well decorated, excellent quality bedding with an electric blanket for extra warmth. Staff were very welcoming and helpful. Grounds are very well maintained. Chalets are separate from each other which provides peace and privacy. Great sunset view over the surrounding area. I thought that the noise of the freeway would be a problem but not too bad at all. An excellent place to stop over and break a long trip and much more luxurious than reflected by the price.
