Average facility. We ordered Prosecco which had been put into our room well before we arrived so the ice had melted and the bottle was warm. The biscuits were stale. Outdoor lights were left on all night, and as the curtain didn’t fit well, we slept badly. The pillows were hard and too high. These would all be easy things to get right but they stopped us enjoying our night there
