The setting is wonderful, the pool area & garden walks divine. Our room was spacious & had a good sized deck area outside.Bed linen was clean & fresh. The bathroom needed updating & was not very clean ie. window ledges were dusty & grout from the tiles lined the edge of the bath. I had to ask for a hairdryer. Breakfast took a long time on the first morning , the 2 inexperienced staff struggled to provide us with a cup of coffee saying they had only one pot & there were 2 other people wanting coffee at the same time! The English Breakfast, however, was well cooked when it arrived. We enjoyed our stay but felt that the place needed a bit of TLC. around the edges. ##### Gaye ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 31 Dec 2011 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Verified traveller ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Waterford Lodge Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Morpeth-Hotels-Waterford-Lodge-Hotel.h33377512.Hotel-Information) > > [TravelodgeUK Hotels in Finchley](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Finchley-London-Hotels-Travelodge-UK.0-n6125743-0--bTravelodgeUK.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Iberostar Selection Lanzarote Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Yaiza-Hotels-Iberostar-Selection-Lanzarote-Park.h1932419.Hotel-Information) > > [Pestana Alvor Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Portimao-Hotels-Pestana-Alvor-Park.h1273467.Hotel-Information) > > [Protea Hotel by Marriott Franschhoek](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-Protea-Hotel-By-Marriott-Franschhoek.h1556523.Hotel-Information) > > [Avondrood Guest House](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-Avondrood-Guest-House.h12640404.Hotel-Information) > > [Mont d'Or Franschhoek](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-Mont-DOr-Franschhoek.h17036842.Hotel-Information) > > [Romantic Hotels in West London](https://www.expedia.co.uk/West-London-Hotels-Romantic-Hotel.0-0-d6047457-tRomanticHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Le Franschhoek Hotel and Spa by Dream Resorts ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-Le-Franschhoek-Hotel-And-Spa.h2712978.Hotel-Information) > > [5 Star Hotels in Portsmouth](https://www.expedia.co.uk/5Star-Portsmouth-Hotels.s50-0-d553248634335196573.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Franschhoek Country House and Villas](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-Franschhoek-Country-House-And-Villas.h3190240.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Castello di Tavolara](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Loiri-Porto-San-Paolo-Hotels-Hotel-Castello-Di-Tavolara.h2011255.Hotel-Information) > > [5 Star Hotels in Bovey Tracey](https://www.expedia.co.uk/5Star-Bovey-Tracey-Hotels.s50-0-d182463.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Chapter House Boutique Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-Chapter-House-Boutique-Hotel.h3155222.Hotel-Information) > > [Boschendal Farm Estate](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-Boschendal-Farm-Estate.h15426059.Hotel-Information) > > [Gable End Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Great-Yarmouth-Hotels-Gable-End-Hotel.h2428960.Hotel-Information) > > [Mont Rochelle Hotel & Vineyard](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-Mont-Rochelle-Hotel-Vineyard.h11491984.Hotel-Information) > > [Opulence Boutique Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Opulence-Central-London.h1577081.Hotel-Information) > > [OYO The Royal Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Newcastle-Upon-Tyne-Hotels-OYO-The-Royal-Hotel.h18927525.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Mumbai (BOM) to Edinburgh (EDI)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/bom/edi/mumbai-to-edinburgh) > > [Flights from Philadelphia (PHL) to Las Vegas (LAS)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/phl/las/philadelphia-to-las-vegas) > > [Flights from Málaga (AGP) to Newcastle-upon-Tyne (NCL)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/agp/ncl/malaga-to-newcastle) > > [Spirit Airlines](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Spirit-Airlines-Flights.cNK.Travel-Guide-Airlines) ### Cars ### Activities > [Things to do in Maryland](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Things-To-Do-In-Maryland.d222.Travel-Guide-Activities) ### Packages
