The building exist in beautiful surrounding. It does provide pool and full spa facilities. Staff are informative and friendly. The vault bar also has an outdoor table option, depending the weather.
The room exist in an annex away from the main building. Ventilation was lacking a lot. The shower was ok, it did maintain a good temperature and did what is expected. The bed comfort was acceptable.
