Do not book here.
Pros:

Nothing

Cons:

On arrival, no staff, just instructions to get to room. Room was not as advertised (1 bed instead of 4 etc.). Rang contact number, was advised they would refund us and that this issue had happened before. No refund was forthcoming and all attempts to contact the hotel failed.

Pros:

Nothing. It looked abandoned and hideous.

I messaged the owner to tell him I'd arrived and he said he was called away, the rooms hadn't been serviced and he was cancelled my booking and said he hoped I found somewhere else to stay

Cons:

Everything!

Cons:

This is by no means a 4 star hotel.The bathroom was tiny and very dirty. There was no mirror in the room. There was also something that looked suspiciously like poo under the bed.

Failed to gain entry
Pros:

I can't give a review on this hotel ? , as I failed to gain entry through the front door . I turned up at 7pm and 7.45pm , and couldn't find the front door keypad I was given a code to use on .Always beware of hotels that look empty and unoccupied by anyone.

Cons:

.
