I had a wonderful stay at The Oak suite thanks to the fantastic rooms with personal touches and local dining suggestions. The location was nice, although the area is starting to see more house building. The service was great, including a welcome drink and pet amenities. The dining experience was enjoyable, and the full 'restaurant menu' cooked to order was a highlight. The facilities added to the experience, with everything I needed right at hand.
