Pros:

I liked the property, it's very beautiful and well maintained. The staff are excellent and extremely helpful. I would suggest adding more modern facilities to existing rooms, like adding a fully enclosed shower so the whole bathroom doesn't get wet.

Cons:

Stairs, there are lots of stairs if you don't get a room near the reception.
