Great staff but average room
"Staff was great and hotel had a comfy lounge with a fireplace. The door to the room was flimsy with minimal sound proofing; could hear everything coming from the corridor. The aircon/ventilation system was loud but did heat up the rooms quickly."

Lovely getaway
"Perfect little studio for a solo stay. Lots of birds and nice outdoor spaces to enjoy. Would have also enjoyed a t.v to have a movie night, but found plenty to do without one. Very comfortable with many extra touches. Would definitely stay again."
