Breakfast was amazing. So well looked after. Room was okay, but it was so so hot with very little air conditioning. Should have asked for a fan.

No aircon in tooms

Despite what is stated on their website there is No air conditioning in the rooms which were unbearably hot, making sleep nigh impossible. No fans were available from the hotel. Our rooms were not made up on the second day and we had to ask for fresh towels. The shower tray surround was broken and dirty.
