Great value for money, quiet and relaxing

Very happy with the stay, the cottages were huge, lovely oasis among the trees. Breakfast could be improved but other restaurant food was amazing. Cool, shaded common area, and large outdoor area in the shade. Highly recommended over other more expensive options. Access to country club is great!
