Reviews
The hotel is located at a farm and you can see a few animals! We loved that! 😊
It's on a farm and the sheep roam around.
We enjoyed watching them especially the baby lambs. The farm also had cattle and birds. We also seen several adorable cats.
The building is two floors but you don't need to deal with stairs because of the way the parking is arranged. The rooms on the first floor park on a lower area. The second floor rooms park on an upper lot.
There are also two hot springs tubs.
Very relaxing.
There was also a nice breakfast.
