The hotel was perfect for the type of trip we wanted, just to get out of the house and have some peace and quiet. I loved the pool and sauna, it wasnt crowded at all, although I was disappointed there was no hot tub as other reviews had led me to believe. The room was clean, bathroom was tidy, and we could always call to the front desk for anything. The Shire was also a fun place to go for breakfast, it was excellent!
