Pros:

The staff are nice, the rooms are comfortable, and the restaurant is very good.

Cons:

1. There is no WI-FI in the rooms. The network is very poor and we had to use our SIM for the internet (we also change rooms to get closer to the reception where the WI-FI is but it didn't help)

2. There was a very very bad smell outside the rooms.

Lovely place and good food, comfortable rooms, beautiful garden, staff could improve.
Pros:

Beautiful gardens, they made a fire for us during dinner time, it was quiet when we were there, some of the staff were very friendly and helpful, good rooms.

Cons:

Some of the staff were really not very friendly and it felt like anything we asked was too much to ask for. Some of the rooms also had some fixings in the room that didn’t work, like lights, telephones and subtle things which makes for a good hotel review.
