A lovely hotel
Pros:

Breakfast was excellent. The room was really comfortable. There is no air-conditioning but a fan was supplied. The pool was a bit tired looking but leisure staff were lovely. Lots of staff were quite young but very friendly and professional. I would stay again.

Cons:

We were interrupted at night by loud singing after midnight. Given the standard of the hotel this was unexpected and disappointing. When raised at reception we were treated well and sympathetically. Ask for a room away from the bar/ outdoor area.

Cons:

The radiator was on and no air-conditioning

Wooden blind and even when fully closed left lots of light in. Both contributed to a poor sleep

Peaceful & relaxing.
Pros:

Location, staff, food…all excellent. Beautiful hotel.

Cons:

Tv in the room hard to see from bed. It was over in the corner of the wall. Would love to have had Netflix on the tv. Taps in bathroom sprayed out water so got soaked a few times. But all very minor.
