Lovely staff. Breakfast was prepared by such a kind and caring lady. Room was super clean

Before arrival was sent a pin to find the location (good), and without being told in advance, my WhatsApp was bombarded by attachments with pages of rules, regulations, instructions which completely stressed me out. I'm one for being a respectful guest, but gave me a feeling that they were doing me a favour be letting me stay....
