Check in was great, very friendly. The room was spotlessly clean and looked great, good amenities too. Only downside is air con only just managed to take the heat out of the room,certainly not cool and mattress could do with replacing- not comfortable

Convenient location with excellent garden surroundings. Spacious room with comfortable bed and nice pillows. Large, well equipped bathroom. The room had an aircon that looked brand new but when running it made a growling noise in the pipework every 30 seconds or so - fortunately the weather was such that it was not required on during the night.
Planned to have a quick dinner on site only to find the kitchen was operating that evening. Turned out to be blessing in disguise as we instead drove to a Thai restaurant about 5 minutes away and had a fantastic meal there.
