Staff were kind and very helpful. Room and whole property clean. Lovely little lake with evening light show and a bridge nearby great for beautiful pictures. Amalfi Cucina Restaurant next door excellent fine dining. We celebrated a late Christmas dinner with family there. The downstairs dockside restaurant was easy to run over to for lunch or take out. Great stay.

Disliked: Amenities
Room is okay, space was nice but the cleanliness left something to be desired. The fitness room was under renovations from a fire a few months ago so the staff offered items that were already came with the booking which was very disappointing. We used the pool/spa which was nice despite the rain.
