    Amazing and friendly staff, Kim was incredible. When there was a power outage she brought us boiling water in a kettle to make tea whilst we waited for it to come back on. Rooms are comfortable with standard amenities.

    The room was well appointed with a electrically heated mattress. The kitchenette had all that you would need to heat or cook something basic. Had a living room and small garden to sit outdoors.
