Horrible. Do no stay here!! I read the reviews and since it said Spa, I assumed it would be nice. Ended up in 2 different cabins and neither one had a proper shower, the water only DRIBBLES out. You cannot get clean. They need to do more maintenance on cabins as the 1st night, it was windy and a tree branch and cord banged on the roof all not and we got 0 sleep. It kept us up all night. I asked nicely to leave and get refund for 2nd night and they promptly said no. We moved to 2nd cabin and the shower does not spray there either, it just dribbles. This cabin also was noisy at night. There was a rodent or some small animal scratching at wall behind the bed. I cannot make this sh** up.We were closer to the animals on the farm and the roosters and other animals made noises all night. What a nightmare.

Worst Hotel Ever
We spent just one night but it was really bad. No AC, the water was not heated, you are at a farm and since you don't AC you hear all the animals all night. The place it's dirty and similar to the rooms.
