forumWhat families say
Families report that the pool has a shallow area children can use too, and that they enjoyed watching the carp and ducks in the garden, so the stay was fun even with children. Some reviews note that the rooms come with a kitchen and a washing machine, which is handy with small children. Others were pleased with thoughtful touches for children, such as slippers and bathrobes sized for young children and coloring sheets. On the other hand, some guests found the beds high and hard to sleep in with children.
