Disappointed. I booked the lodge for the bath, but it was out of use. The shower was hot one minute, and then only cold. Bed not so comfortable. Be careful to noise sensitive people : you hear the noise coming from the road ! The hotel is very small, and everyone is near by each other. The pool is disappointing. The breakfast was not good. Btw, they say they open breakfast at 8am (which is super late), but they are still arranging the terasse at this moment

Exceptional

9.0

The location of the property is in a quiet location with excellent views from the lodges and breakfast dining area. It has a lovely laid back vibe and the staff were excellent. The rooms were comfy and well decorated. If you want to go into the centre of town it is easy enough to get an Uber.

A little more privacy at the bathroom window. Looked as if there was a curtain or blind missing.
