mixed experience at this hotel

adequate facilitiesdistant carparkflimsy plastic
the spa facilities were adequate for a short swim.
the carpark is a considerable distance from the hotel. also, the toilet seat in the bathroom was made of flimsy plastic, it creaked loudly with any movement. this detail detracted from the overall experience, particularly given the nightly rate.

a blissful escape, lovely

I am utterly smitten with this place and can't wait to return!!! the room was spacious, boasting a fabulous view. The immaculate cleanliness was so excellent. a little touch, homemade cookies awaited us each day in the room. the grounds were immaculate and offered lovely spots for a romantic stroll.
I found the lighting in the bathroom to be a little dim. It's a minor detail, but worth noting.
