The hotel was good, however I have one complaint not related to hotel itself. The hotel is slightly off the road and is difficult to see until you are next to it. There are two inconspicuous signs, one for each direction, that do not help the visitor find the entrance. A larger sign visible from at least 100 m would be a great help for visitors.

I arrived after check in closed. The key was easy to locate. The property needs lights to mark the entry to the driveway as it is quite bushy and on a busy road and there are lots of lovely trees which make it difficult to see the entry.

Uncertainty about access to the property, can I turn in across traffic? Iffy. Grounds are a bit rough and ready, decidedly unsafe pergolas are not suitable for kids playing outside.

Place was clean which is why i gave 2 stars. The reception was not very helpful in telling me how out-of-hours check-in works - an email I got said to notify them and they would text me a code. No code was sent after notifying them, and I had to follow up twice to figure out that they don’t use a code system - she was clearly getting annoyed at me but I’m not a mind reader… LOL. Also, the wifi didn’t work, and the TV didn’t work - it turned on but did not give me any TV or let me log on to my streaming accounts. I was… very bored. There was no wall plug near the main bed so I couldn’t plug my phone in where I was sleeping after a full day of draining its battery.

The bathroom plumbing was making a loud noise every 5-10 minutes. It was coming from Toilet tap and once turned off stopped it for the night. Sounded like it would suddenly try and fill all of sudden despite not being used but was quite loud and keeping us awake until we turned the tap off.

Very disappointed with this stay, heading home from a big road trip and this was the most expensive yet uncomfortable room we had by far. On entry, the decor near made my eyes water, we laughed that off until we realised the mattress was very very old and uncomfortable, to the point where something jabbed my partner through the mattress and made him bleed. Complaints made and no response. Really disappointing.
