Pros:

Nice and quite

Cons:

Firstly, the guard at the gate requested to call reception from my phone to check for the booking?
Secondly I asked the reception if she has place closer to the restaurant, she said they were fully booked but on all other platforms I could find the availability to book another room. So this let me question now everything if she is not truthful.
The room light had a annoying flicker.
The lady in the restaurant who gave us the tea was very friendly and helpful regarding directions. The road needs maintenance.
