8/10 Good
"We stayed in one of the lodges. There were some maintenance issues. There were some broken tiles on one of the bathroom floors. It could have also been a little cleaner. But it was a good location for a wedding we attended. The breakfast was lovely and had a great selection. The staff were also very attentive."
