Parking on site was tricky due to narrow bays and large cars very close to white lines. Room and terrace were very comfortable and well appointed

For one of their best rooms it was shocking. One window wouldn’t close so was letting a constant draft in, tiny heater in the room did nothing. Holes in the walls, stains all over the carpets and wires dangling down. Left within an hour of being there. Requested a refund as the owners said I could, then it was denied as expedia classed it as “poor service” and they didn’t like that. Absolute joke.
