Pros:

Beautiful location. Lovely bar area. Very friendly and helpful, if rather disorganised, staff.

Cons:

Dirty,(hairs) and damaged/torn sheets on the very badly made bed. Flies everywhere.
Needed to ask for a fan as the temperature was so high (supplied happily, thank you)
Rubbish left on the pathways outside rooms.
Choice limited on the evening menu, due to some dishes running out, despite it not seeming very busy.. (very nice crab starter)
Orders arrived very slowly and became muddled up and served incorrectly for us and two other guests.
Drinks with meal served too late to be enjoyed with the appropriate food.
