Oct 12, 2025 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy This was a lovely place to stay but it did miss the personal feel from the owner rather than a managing company. Hot tub was great, clean and warm. The rooms are beautifully decorated, and good space. More towels would have been handy.Was great to be so close to a bus stop and so easy to use busses all over the island. Also great to be 10min walk from Ostent highstreet with supermarkets and takeway places. Thank you. We really enjoyed our time at the property. ##### Chantelle d. Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Rupert Montgomery M. Nov 12, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Really enjoyed it Overall was great. Nice bush. A couple of issues: - the hot tube was cold on the 2nd day, after some use. Perhaps the water from us poored out and is our fault. Would be good to know how to refile it - didn't manage to get the dishwasher working. Having said all this, loved the place and it was perfect. Very clean and with nice furntiure etc. ##### Rupert Montgomery M.
