To start off, I didn’t get a code to get into the property, couldn’t get into the room So trying numerous times to get in contact with owners was impossible and even hotel.com couldn’t get in contact We set off to the property to see if we could speak to anybody, and we spoke to a woman who managed to get the codes for us Great room, great bath Just to service was terrible and the staff wasn’t that helpful

A little gem to visit
Little mix up on the bed numbers, but can't blame the hotel as we booked through Hotel.com. Beautiful room, exceptionally clean, the most divine little touches. Fantastic breakfast and great communication from the manager, who allowed us to rescue the bed situation. I would recommend this hotel, set in beautiful surroundings.
