6hrs Driving to ZERO EV charger.

I booked this hotel as the description clearly stated it had EV chargers. I turned up after driving all day and the EV chargers were not there and judging from the vines, they have not been there for a long time. I wasted a booking.

Lovely hotel! Shame about scandalous Xcover.com

We enjoyed a two night stay in this lovely hotel. However, I was angered by the fact that we initially took out the insurance policy that was advertised on the Hotels.com booking page, at the time of booking and then instantly, afterwards, we cancelled the insurance policy, as it wasn’t needed, only to find that we had still been charged by the insurance company Xcover.com, when my credit card bill arrived!! Shame on xcover.com!!

A nice hotel. Only downside comment is the noise from the heating/air conditioning unit through the night. We had two rooms and both had the same issue of the sound of running water in the background whilst trying to get to sleep. We had the units off but as they were connected to the main system it still ran in the background. Otherwise a nice hotel with very friendly and helpful staff.
