Great friendly staff, beautiful room with comfortable bed, shower and bath, TV with decent selection n nice view ( we had 22 ) others may differ not sure. Many sections of the downstairs with huge amount of seating. Outside around the back has a stable shelter when raining and beautiful views you can enjoy when out of the shelter. We were there for a special event, so check if there doing more n plan your stay for those times as it was a very fun night.
