While there are some minor concerns about maintenance, the overall sentiment is overwhelmingly positive.
Cleanliness
The majority of guests have highlighted the property's exceptional cleanliness, with numerous mentions of it being 'spotless' and 'immaculate'. There was, however, a single report of bathroom mould, which slightly impacts the score.

Comfort
Guests find the property comfortable, with several positive comments about the furnishings. Some guests mentioned the beds being either too soft or not very comfortable, which suggests room for improvement in this area.
Facilities
Facilities are generally well-received, with the property described as well-equipped and maintained. However, there are isolated complaints about stiff showers, a broken jacuzzi, and the need for additional items like a handrail in the bath, which affects the score.
Thoughtfulness
Many guests were delighted by the thoughtful gestures such as welcome cakes, chocolates, and milk. While these gifts are warmly received, it's important to note that such personal touches, though common, are not guaranteed for every stay.
