Guest review
10.0Amazing guest house, with perfect design and flawless service
Comfortably peaceful in tranquil lux surroundings looked after by ‘salt of the Earth’ wonderful staff!
10.0Style, clever design, the staff and the peace & quiet!
− Very little except if we were picky some of the lighting as it was out of balance in our room, either too many and too bright or too little too light! But really that was easily manageable.
