"Beautiful grounds and enjoyable stay - we stayed in the Penthouse. The Penthouse cottage was large, clean and comfortable. The fridge was very old and extremely noisy and the adult shower only had cold water. Used the kids 4 ft tall shower since that one had hot water. Would love to return, but given the cost, would expect a quiet fridge and a working adult shower."
