A very comfortable place to stay. I would have given it 5 stars had it not been for the practicaly unusable wifi. My mobile network was also poor so a decent wifi signal would have been very helpful.

I would have given 5 stars but we had a few issues. The wi-fi was non existent, l was finally able to quickly download a book at 1am. The chair which looked very nice in the pictures was so uncomfortable you couldn’t sit on it for more than 5mins. Perhaps a new seat cushion would be a good idea. Other than that we had a pleasant stay.
