Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
Staff were great. Location is good for access to town etc but don’t be fooled by the photos on the listing as the cabins have literally no view … ours looked directly onto the back of another unit that was about 10 meters away and the large refurbishment building work ( noisy) going on on the main hotel building.

Cabins were great!

Great comfortable stay in the stand alone cabins, private and secure, great way for a few of us to live close to each other but sleep independently.
