Great Stay. Relaxing and plenty of natural beauty all around.
Pros:

Lovely place to unwind!

Cons:

It would have been nice to have more choice with meals either on menu or in the Cafe. Coffee in Cafe wasn’t very nice.

Lovely location but unclean facility
Pros:

Lovely location

Cons:

Bathroom was dirty, toilet looked Iike the bowl hadn’t been cleaned for months it was brown and manky, smears on white quilt covers, no tea towel or scrubber provided for kitchenette (had to go back and ask for these). No sharp knives or chopping board in kitchenette with seems like an essential item when paying for an added kitchen facility. Overall room was cleaned very poorly before our arrival which with the price it cost we were very surprised. Not had to scrub a toilet bowl quickly, honesty looked like it hadn’t been cleaned in months. Bathroom walls also had dirt and mould. Lovely location but the resort needs to lift its cleaning standards

Pros:

Location

Cons:

Pre book restaurant dinners. When they have tour buses who have also booked accommodation they fill up the restaurant. Lucky enough to be squeezed in.
