6/10 Good

Room was old for the price we paid, musty smell and the chairs were dirty. Had a massage which was nice and the girls were lovely, but signage would be good to be able to find it. Dinner was amazing, everything we had was delicious. Breakfast was a let down, ordered omelette but it was really undercooked. Staff were helpful and brought back into kitchen to finish cooking. Always enjoy coming here but the room and breakfast let it down this time. Will def be back for dinner!

2/10 Poor

Worst experience ever, we saw a space in our wardrobe which was very scary. Its presence raised questions about the integrity of the establishment and left us feeling deeply unsettled throughout our stay. The walls and curtains appeared neglected and unclean, leaving an impression of poor maintenance and hygiene standards. Also, the absence of air conditioning compounded our discomfort, particularly during warmer periods although it was mentioned on the website that rooms have AC facilities.
