"A pleasant family-run establishment that gave a warm and helpful welcome. Very efficient room servicing, not replacing towels or mats unnecessarily - a contribution to poluution reduction, but no notice stating policy. One or two annoying little faults: TV had a weak signal and the screen broke up rather often, soap etc. dispensers didn't dispense without a lot of effort, drawers opened and wouldn't close again."

When I told reception the next day I got blamed for not saying beforehand but wasn't told that customer service was 24/7 when I checked in? Other than that breakfast was average, room was clean bathroom tiny"
