weak shower pressure temperature fluctuation
The breakfast met expectations. The food was AMAZING!!!
I was not happy about the room size. It was smaller than I expected. The bathroom had issues. The shower pressure was weak, and the temperature fluctuated wildly. This made showering an exercise in frustration. I think the hotel needs some serious plumbing work.

Acceptable Stay

helpful staff plentiful breakfast dated room poor shower
The hotel had a great location near the beach. Breakfast included plentiful food choices. I found the staff helpful.
Our room was in an outbuilding not the main house, it overlooked the car park. The room seemed dated. I noticed the shower did not work well.
