It's like staying in a castle.

The facility is beautiful with a view of the water. The staff was friendly and everything was clean. There was no elevator but staff is willing to help with bags if you need it. I really enjoyed the facility and the area.

The grounds, and the area on the water, are so beautiful. We had a great deal for a big old handsome room. We did have the compressors outside our window and there were tents and music as they set up for a wedding, but I enjoyed the old fireplaces and wide stairs and feel of the old building. And the bed was very comfy.
