Really good Stay
glass doorsrange teassteep road
The breakfast area featured full length glass sliding doors with bench seats. These provided a great view over the surrounding area. I liked the provision of a range of teas to try. The staff were full of recommendations and accommodating . I thought the pool and tennis court were great additions.
I found the hotel was located up a steep road. This meant that it was essential to drive into town for everything.

The front lawn was big, great. the room had all the things i needed. A fan, air conditioning, a television, a kettle, and tea. i think that was nice. we loved the pool. but the view was amazing!
the bathroom felt a little bit dirty. it had obvious mold. the sink had cracks and dirt filled them, i didn't like that. i think they should renovate it. the room was the smallest i have ever stayed in and offered minimal facilities.
