Pros:

The grounds are nice, the room was big and very clean, nice wrap around veranda, plenty of car parking. The bed was so comfortable!

Cons:

I thought the staff member could have been more professional. I interrupted her phone call on check which she couldn't wait to get back to, no welcome or information - just pay and go. No information or notice on how to get into the hotel the next day when the roads all around were closed off. We drove 8 hours to get there and know nothing about the area so things like being more welcoming and information would have gone along way instead of feeling like a pest.

Pros:

Love the spa bath and comfortable bed. I have stayed here quite a few times, and it was a nice touch this stay to have a complimentary tray in the room with snacks and water.

Very pleasant with charming staff.
Pros:

Friendly and welcoming staff. The property has loads of character and charm.

Cons:

The cleaning team probably need a little more support around general dusting and wipe overs of glass and light fixtures.
Would be lovely to get that outdoor garden fountain working again.
