Not Great .........................
I was so looking forward to this stay . The place needs a good scrub in the walkways and the bathroom especially the grouting and the shower . There were stains on the seats in the dining area. It was particularly chilly and when I asked if they could light a fire - I was told they are not using them. I would not recommend this spot at all.

Great retreat
Amazing weekend retreat. Spacious, clean and quiet room. Breakfast and dinner service at the Bistro has room for improvement but the food is good and of high quality. Waitresses require more training. Resort is well situated, near points of interest.
