Good Bits * Beautiful view over Thames coastline from balcony * Really nice welcome * Use of the owners pool but quite a few leaves in it and not heated * Complimentary milk, biscuits and Bailey's type drink Not so good bits * Cleaning not very thorough - Someone's blond hair on the sofa and sofa pillows, *Cobwebs in exposed rafters, *External doors and windows not clean. *Mould in shower cubicle. *Dishes not washed properly - not checked before occupancy - yuck *Oven was also quite disgusting and not clean. * Can hear neighbours on the phone through bedroom wall clearly at night! This facility lets itself down with basically a poor cleaning regime. Such a simple thing to fix and it would make all the difference

We had the Camellia Chalet. Spectacular views on a hill overlooking the bay from the bed, deck and dining area. Room was the size of a small apartment with cooking amenities. We decided to dine in and enjoy the room and views. Grounds were meticulously landscaped with labels on all the native plants. We had a king sized bed even though the booking description said double. It was almost like staying in a treehouse.
