We have stayed here twice, both times we had a room and not one of the cottages. Room is comfortable and had everything we needed. The cleanness is so so; the bedlinen and especially the towels just don’t smell fresh or clean. I am not saying that they were dirty, but it was as if they were washed without a detergent/soap. Driveway up to reception is pretty but in need of a bit of maintenance. Overall: average

Such a beautiful location - after a long drive it was the ultimate pleasurable place to relax and unwind. A cool dip in the pool on a very hot afternoon was perfect and we were upgraded to one of the cottages! Thank you for a memorable stay

Nice peaceful place to stay we really enjoyed it had everything we needed. A few things I would suggest are in need of upgrading such as the curtains but other than that I would highly recommend this place.

Beautiful Grounds

Motel units are spread out on beautiful grounds. There is a river at the bottom of the property and several natural pools. Great place to stay if you love nature. It is tucked away from the main road down a long driveway. The units have a kitchen and there is also a comunal area with bbq, sauna and spa. The interior of the unit is a bit dated and filled with large furniture which gives it a charm but also makes the room smaller. Considering the price, this was a great place to stay.
