I sourced this property from the internet, and after having booked places via the internet and on other people's recommendations, was a little weary, as I have had some really bad experiences.

We had booked this hotel on line before our trip but when we arrived were hugely disappointed when shown our room. The actual hotel is in a lovely setting and has so much potential. Our room was large with a separate lounge area as well as bedroom and bathroom but the whole place was in need of updating. The decor... More
