All of the cottages were attractive from the outside. The entrance to the property was right off the main highway, yet wasn't noisy. The cookware was in pristine condition. The bed was comfortable and many layers of covers of various thickness were provided, so you could get your temperature just right. I would have appreciated if I could have turned off the outside light on the cottage. I don't like coming in the window at night when I'm trying to sleep. There was a blind, but no curtain to block the light.

The grounds are beautiful. The accommodations are very nice with the exception of the beds ROCK HARD and uncomfortable. The tent glamping has a curfew of 9pm and the walls are transparent. The staff is not aware of privacy issues and should place guests one room apart in order to mitigate the sound pollution from one room to the other.
