Beautiful location but the rooms are very basic for the price they charge. The walls are thin and the beds are squeaky. Some of the rooms are right next to the road and the restaurant so it s very noisy.

The staff are lovely but we were charged for every cup of tea and coffee and the meals were very over priced for the basic food that was provided. Having just staying at another hotel 5 minutes down the road which was much better value for money we were very disappointed.

Having said this the gardens were beautiful and the food was organic. Just better to know that for the same price you can stay at a much nice place.
