Wat er wel zou moeten zijn is een airco op de kamer . Voor de prijs en de hitte in de zomer . De fan kan alleen maar gardven heel hard wat erg hard waait als je ligt te slapen . We vonden t zwembad in verhouding met de aantal huisje best klein . En deze kan wat love and care gebruiken . ##### Ron Stayed 1 night in Mar 2025 ### 4/10 Poor #### Verified traveller Sep 10, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Staff & service #### Won't stay here again The manager on duty was in a hurry to go back to to watching his rugby match on arrival. On departure he seemed even more disinterested and could not be bothered to direct me to the restuarant for breakfast. At breakfast found weevils in the cereal. The only redeeming quality of the service at the place was the Bar-keep and the Chef who cooked dinner as well as the cleanliness of the room. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Sep 2021 ### 8/10 Good #### Susan Sep 28, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### ood location.
