What recent reviews say

Guests appreciate the spacious rooms, family-friendly amenities (pool, playground, BBQ), and peaceful village setting, with repeat visitors drawn back by comfort and cleanliness. The owner's dismissive attitude toward complaints and inflexible policies frustrate bookings; some guests report an unclean pool and resent being charged for unused hours without refund.
