The king bed was comfy, the room was clean, the ladies on reception were very friendly. We had breakfast, both menu and buffet, which was very nice. Top parking can be a little squeezy if you have a big car. We were ok until our neighbour parked over half our side. Small thing, trim the garden in row 3, so cars can park safely and not take out their bumpers on the rocks hidden underneath, also allowing other cars to easily pass behind.
