Absolute gem of a place, room was lovely, spacious with a really well laid out kitchenette. Air con worked really well, my husband thought his side of the bed was uncomfortable but my side was fine. Lovely fluffy towels and a private terrace with small garden was an added bonus.

Unfortunately, booked the Triple Room with Terrace but did not get this (Room 15 instead). Have stayed almost weekly for the past couple months and usually pretty good.
