I stayed in the beautiful double or twin room terrace. the terrace furniture was quite worn. Some chairs wobbled. the breakfast buffet, while good, was not always replenished quickly. i found myself waiting for items a few times and it was a little frustrating. the bathroom lacked adequate shelving. I struggled to find space for my toiletries.

The hotel has terraces and lawns easily accessible I found this feature wonderful. The unheated swimming pool was glorious I enjoyed a refreshing swim. The restaurant offers lovely views I saw a good menu with good value options. I noted food was hot and portions were generous during supper and breakfast.
