lovely experience!
christmas treespacious roomcute teddypool rules
I found the team polite and helpful. my room had a christmas tree and a balcony overlooking the garden. It was spacious. stephen and the team created a nice stay. i especially appreciated the cute teddy bear for my daughter.
The pool rules were not consistently enforced. One guest went into the pool straight after using the sauna. he did not rinse himself. this should be addressed.
