Dear Guest Thank you for your review, I am glad that you enjoyed your stay. Thank you also for your understanding when you had a problem with the coffee maker and light. The hard water does take its toll on kettles and coffee makers. Your 5 bubble review is very much appreciated, it sounds as though you had a great time. Best Wishes Steve
