Pros:

The staff were very helpful. The location is close to the main street, with easy access to restaurants and shops.

Beautiful grounds great value
Pros:

Great value. Comfortable beds and good shower. Windows that open! Well equipped kitchen. Beautiful grounds with lots of trees.

Cons:

The sofa in the living room was so uncomfortable. It was almost useless. It was a sofa. Bed in the frame could be felt through the cushions. Additionally, the cushions and sofa seating were sloped, so it was hard to even stay on it.

Pros:

Very comfortable stay. Everything was perfect. Staff communication was excellent. Near to the city center.

Bus station is a bit far, 10 mins by car. It will be tough to walk if you have a big suitcase. There is no uber so you should ask for it to the staff or keep the contact from the taxi driver when you use from airport.

Cons:

Nothing!

Excelente!!!
Pros:

La atención, la ubicación, la cabaña es muy acogedora, esta en pleno centro .

Cons:

Tienen un problema con un par de pubs que los fines de semana ponen música a muy alto volumen pero me comunique con la chica de recepción y enseguida intentó gestionar la baja del volumen. Un problema que lamentablemente los excede, pero fueron muy atentos y presionaron para lograrlo.
