A nice base to explore Byron
Pros:

The rooms and pool were really nice. Was easy access to the car. The bikes were a nice touch as well.

Cons:

There was no where to hang towels in the bathroom.
The hotel is about a 20 minute walk from the top of the Main Street so just need to keep that in mind.

Pros:

There are numerous beautiful spaces to enjoy - from the lounge downstairs, garden nooks & the pool.

Cons:

Traffic noise but my room was right at the front, so probably less in other rooms.

Pleasant stay. I'd stay again.
Pros:

I had a pleasant stay at the hotel. It has a very nice vibe and the pool is definitely the best part of the hotel. The room was very clean and nicely decorated however was rather a small size, quite difficult with opening suitcases and  organising your stuff. The bathroom was slightly bigger however badly design as there is nowhere to put my stuff around so I had to keep everything in my bags and just take whatever I needed at the time. The beds were super comfortable so I definitely had a good sleep. The pool  is quite big with a very chilled vibe, super reelaxing. There is also a very nice coffee shop just outside the hotel which offers great breakfast/lunch soo it's very convenient. I will stay again :)
