Overall very nice facility with great views. ☺Large room, great view, friendly staff. Good breakfast. Close proximity to meander facilities. ☹Heating in the room was very basic. Bathroom cold. No hairdryer or dressing table in the room. Tv very small.

Definitely a place to come back to, and value for money ☺Amazing value for money, the view, and the location was perfect. We went in the winter season and the rooms were ever so warm, and the rooms were in good condition and well maintained. They were willing to accommodate our every request - especially being vegetarian, the chief was very accommodating. Unfortunately being winter we weren't able to use the pool outside the room, but in the warmer summer periods a place we will most definitely come back to. ☹Everything was amazing.
