I’d stay again . Value for money! The view was excellent
Pros:

Breakfast was good.
Dinner I had once and it was delicious
The room was spacious, no aircon but that didn’t bother because of the season.
Service to room was prompt helpful and room clean

Cons:

The lights from outside interrupted sleep. Even with curtains pulled. Maybe a blind is best
