Dorothy has some beautiful English and Irish china and crystal as well. She was very accommodating regarding our schedule, and we can't say enough about the breakfast. It was different each day and oh so good - from individual soufflés to homemade granola, homemade Irish soda bread, poached pears, homemade strawberry jam, and fresh fruit. It was a wonderful way to start the day!

We had a number of issues ranging from lots of noise to broken appliances to cleaning issues. The manager and her son were wonderful, but I would not return to this hotel at $250 per night. The service and maintenance just isn't where it should be.

This review is for the Wallaby cabin. This cabin supposedly has a bathroom with a shower, 3 beds…read moreand a kitchenette. The bathroom has a shower so small it is difficult not to rinse one's hair while applying shampoo. There is no sink in this room for brushing teeth, washing hands or face, etc. There is no mirror either, or hooks for towels or washcloths or clothes. There is also no heater. The cabin has no closet or any place to hang any clothes. There were several bugs crawling on the ceiling. The wall A/C could not help but spew dust, as it was coated with that on the filter and cover. The trash can had a clean bag, which occupants are required to leave in dumpster at checkout. When removing the bag, the stuck-on mess under it was appalling. The bed in each loft area had obviously been used and not changed, as the covers were in disarray and the bottom sheets not clean. The main bed has a zipped on plastic cover which the loose fitting fitted sheet will not stay on, causing occupants to end up sleeping on plastic. We purchased a blanket to go over it for the next night. We would not have stayed more than one night but, as we had reserved 3, it is not refundable. The tv is to the side of the immovable chairs, so that one must have head turned completely to one side to watch. The cabin has such a slant that a ball will roll by itself to the entrance side. All this for more than $350 for 3 night stay.
