Looked forward to a 'nice' stay away, only to find out that the restaurant was closed for renovations, and the swimming pool was also closed!, disappointing as both these were a factor to booking this accommodation. The heater didn't work in our room in the first night (which outside temp was 1degree!), this did get fixed however once mentioned. Also the room was not serviced for the 3 day duration that we stayed!.
