Pros:

Everything was brilliant. The food, the rooms, beds, the service and location.
The staff were so friendly and efficient, and nothing was too much trouble. From arriving to departure, we felt so welcome. I could go on for ever, but much quicker to say that we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We will stay again. It's a little gem!

Cons:

We only stayed one night and had to go home. It was our end of holiday treat.
