Pros:

Nicole at reception was lovely very welcoming. I'd stay there again. Breaky was good/ service👌

Pros:

The location, the view and the staff were excellent.

Cons:

The mattress and pillows were very uncomfortable in the main bedroom. The kitchen did not have enough crockery or glasses to make it worthwhile using the dishwasher each day & the detergent provided in the sachets was useless.There was also no oven mitt.
There were no toilet brushes in either of the bathrooms.
Not having air conditioning in the bedrooms would make it very uncomfortable in summer & the fans provided were too small and full of dust.
