The room was clean and spacious. I also enjoyed the large garden area at the rear, it included seating. The food in the restaurant tasted very good and featured a diverse menu. The staff was helpful. They went out of their way to ensure a amazing stay.

I noticed the gardens need attention. Tidying would make the outside space more inviting. I suggest they invest in outdoor upkeep, it makes a huge difference .
