5/5 Excellent

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
We were very comfortable and enjoyed our use of the communal lounge area. We were lucky to be the only visitors, it might seem a bit communal if all 4 rooms are taken. Good to be able to walk around the garden and Avo orchard.
