"A beautiful place, spacious, well equipped with everything. Perfect for family with kids!"
"The room was very spacious, clean, and the bed was extremely comfortable. The TV's internet connectivity wasn't working properly, meaning we couldn't access streaming apps or other online features. Room service was also unavailable, which was inconvenient and something you'd expect to be working at a hotel."
The Loft In The Mill Boutique Accommodation
The Loft In The Mill Boutique Accommodation"King Arthur room was beautiful. Lovely spot to stay in Olinda. Terrific to have breakfast provisions provided."
"Aging buildings in superb location. Great value. Mostly for conferences, so casual visitors like us organise own food via local cafes in quaint nearby villages"
"Pros: Big cottage. Scenic location. Bacon, eggs, milk, juice, butter, tomatoes and bread provided for breakfast. Nice toiletries. Frogs in the pond sounded cool. Rabbits everywhere. Cons: Emailed property to say we'll arrive around 4pm. No reply. We arrive at 4:15pm to find reception closed and a mobile number. Called and about 5 mins later are sent a road map (?) and where to find the key. Wi-fi had full bars, but was "connected without internet". No reply when I reached out. Road is...
"Room was not clean, sweet wrappers behind fridge in room, sign in bathroom....please leave sanitary items in bin provided ummmm.....what bin, floors were dirty, grout in bathroom filthy, bed was comfortable, wasnt the room we had booked originally, was told at reception we have given you the best room here, if that was the best would hate to see what the rest were like. Thr restaurant at front was very popular, the whole outside of the motel is very uninviting"
