Pros:

Very beautiful hotel and the location is excellent.

Cons:

There seams to be no insulation between rooms as bathroom noises heard throughout the day and night, shower water, doors and toilets flushing. So noisy that really sad to say won't stay again.

Clean- no storage for bikes- no breakfast and no fridges lots of plastic plants, false library- I would find somewhere c
Pros:

Very clean

Cons:

I requested a downstairs room as I hade late arrival- I had a packed bike and suitcase.
I arrived and found my roommate on to be on the first floor- this meant lugging my bike and luggage upstairs.
The property advertises breakfast and a fridge. It offers a wine chiller and no breakfast which basically meant you could not store any perishables in the fridge.
Cafes etc about 1km from the property.
