Reviewed Oct 16, 2025The outside area by the pool is lovely and having an honesty bar was really convenient.
My room was sadly not clean when I arrived. Taking my shoes off I noticed the floor was full of dirt and still had hair from the previous guest was around. My bedside tables and the bathroom had a layer of dirt on the surface which I saw when just briefly swiping over it with my finger Also experienced this outside on the table when sitting there to work my forearms and hands were black from the residue on the table It's also not that convenient for work travel. Not much space in room (I was in Lavender room) to open a suitcase or access the room with luggage without having to maneuver through tight spaces or up stairs.

the place is a bit isolated,organising dinner wouldnt be such a bad idea, and yes at an additional fee.
