the room included a twin room shower. the gardens were lovely and I saw really good views from the terrace. staff was friendly and helpful, which I liked.
the room lacked character, I thought. I could hear other guests quite clearly through the walls. only a third of the toilet roll was on the holder when I arrived, that bothered me.

The hotel has a beautiful garden and offers amazing views. The room was spacious and had no sharp-cornered furniture. Kids could play without us parents having to worry. Breakfast stood out.
