Our group consisted of five longtime friends, all women in our 60s, and the experience was just what we needed. The amenities were excellent—the beds were incredibly comfortable, and the open layout of the kitchen, dining, and living area (with comfy sofas, reliable Wi-Fi, and a massive TV) made for a cozy, social space that suited us perfectly. The balcony was a lovely bonus, adding to the overall sense of relaxation and comfort.That said, we would have appreciated it if the stair-lift chair had been functional and/or easy to use. The staircase was quite steep and posed a real challenge for a few of us. Also, a small welcome hamper with a few essentials or local treats would have added a lovely, thoughtful touch to our arrival. ##### linda m.
