Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The room was small but adequate and clean. The staff were friendly and helpful. We enjoyed our breakfasts and had plenty to choose from. The bar staff were pleasant and helpful. It would have been good to have some evening lights on the outside path down to the town. The gardener had a difficult job to clear the leaves from the path. He did a good job

No cleaning provided despite asking poor smell from room bathroom flush not working properly. Overheated rooms, no proper accessories to hang clothes in washroom. No lift have to carry luggage to top floors. No staff at reception half the time. Paid parking. Avoid this one for sure
