The kitchen was very clean & well fitted out. Could cook in-house. The bathroom was in a very good condition with an excellent shower and bath. The bed was extremely comfortable with snug bedding. The space beside the beds are narrow, but the room was spacious to the foot end side. Aircon, heating and fresh air with openable windows. We had buffet dinner with good selection of food. Cost compared well with other meals out. We’ll certainly stay here again.
