Fantastic experience. Would highly recommend. Only feedback I would give that didn't really impact our experience was that room toilet have a door on them that is open at the bottom and the top, which then leads into the bathroom and the main room. This means that although there is a door, the person using the loo does not have the luxury of total silence if they are going to be particularly musical or leave some kind of aroma behind. We just made a deal with the family to use the toilets near reception for any "performances". This is just a tiny bit of feedback and did not impact our stay. Looking forward to staying next time.
