My friends and I really enjoyed staying here. We loved walking in the amazing garden and looking at the waterlilies on the pond. We enjoyed feeding the fish and enjoyed the pool very much. There were plenty of chairs for all of us and they have some floats as well that some of us enjoyed.We were able to enjoy lunch on the screen porch that had fans to make it superb and comfortable.
