Pros:

We had a wonderful stay at Cradle Boutique Hotel. The property is beautifully maintained, exceptionally clean, and offers great value for money. The staff were friendly, welcoming, and incredibly helpful throughout our stay. The food was outstanding, an easy 10/10! We thoroughly enjoyed our experience and wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again.

Cons:

The only minor disappointment was that the hot tub didn’t get as warm as we had expected. Aside from that, we had a fantastic stay.
