“Quiant and cosy.”
+The place was quaint and rustic but everything worked well and the place had everything to enhance our comfort. An electric blanket warmed our room so on returning we got into a warm bed. The bath was lovely and hot and we had bottled water to drink in our room.
−The access from the parking was a little awkward but doable.

“Great place by the river (in Summer)”
+I booked the little cottage by the river. I loved it set between the banana trees! It is small, but quite well organised and space optimised. it is clean and comfy, but very cold at night. That's a chance that they were providing extra blanket! The restaurant has a stunning setting by the river. You can rent a kayak to paddle on the river.
−There was no towel provided. The toilet paper was running out in most of the toilets.
