Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is conveniently located just off the large roundabout at the end of the village, providing easy access. The staff goes above and beyond in their customer service efforts, making my stay truly enjoyable. The dining experience, although included, had limited options, holding back a bit of the overall experience. The outdoor bathtub in some rooms was a unique touch that added to the stay.
This hotel is an absolute gem with a lovely outdoor bath but without access to a lift. The customer service was outstanding, going over the top to ensure a fantastic stay. It's near the airport with a large car park making it very convenient. The dining experience offered fantastic quality and taste, though with limited options. The facilities were top-notch, offering a luxurious experience.
The hotel is a gem with its unique outdoor bathtub rooms and top-notch customer service. Although lacking a lift may be a drawback, the experience is truly special. A good value for money with exceptional service.
