Loverly location but restaurant over priced and food basic. The hotel is going through a renovation in the near future so hopefully improvements will be made.

2/10

It was awful. I only stayed one night. The place was not clean, the bedroom door would not lock, the toilet was leaking and there was no hot water, so not possible to shower. All the locals laugh (not in a good way) when I said I stayed there. I would like at least one nights rebate, but in all honesty suspect that will never happen.
