The other house is quite unique, I would say if they are to continue operating as a hotel there needs to be certain aspects that contribute to it being a hotel such as slippers, dressing gowns in rooms, complimentary biscuits, directions to the spa with arrows to show where it is. Also some of the receptionist staff could be more friendly. Overall it was a nice stay but there are some improvements to be made. Also the lighting could be better in the rooms.

The property is nice and exactly as in the photos. What I did not like about my room was that it was on the ground floor with the windows looking out to internal sit outs of the hotel - so no natural light. The housekeeping left a lot to be desired. We stayed there for about 3 weeks. They do housekeeping once a week only and do not even change towels. One had to keep requesting them to do at least give fresh towels. And even when housekeeping was done they would forget to replenish the tea, sugar etc. The most disappointing part was when I gave this feedback to the front office staff, I was told that because I was a long staying guest I needed to remind them to replenish supplies! One would have expected service to be better for a long staying guest and not the other way round !!

Lovely room — very clean, comfortable, and quiet. Lighting created a relaxing atmosphere. Bathroom lighting can be improved to have a light that can do makeup. The kitchen is nice but not functioning very well, e.g. coffee machine not working, nowhere to find the power on button of the vent, and it took forever for the stove to bring the water to boiling. Staff are friendly.
