The most amazing hotel. Surroundings are just perfect and there is that little bit of quirkiness! Check-in was faultless. Six girls in adjoining rooms. Rooms was absolutely fine. Love the style of the bunk beds. Hotel itself is just perfect. Lovely pool, very close to town and evenings in the bar area are fantastic. Breakfast was really good too - loads of variety. We had the BEST time and will definitely be returning.

4/10 Fair

Majority of staff are amazing, courteous and very helpful. However, there is no room service, and when asking how I could get take away from the restaurant at 2100 one night they said nothing was available and couldn’t help. This was in contrast to what staff had said earlier that evening saying I could anytime the restaurant was open. Not something you’d expect from a 4 star hotel.
