Very clean, well maintained and had everything we needed for the 2 weeks. The pool was perfect. The beds are extremely comfortable. Had lots of wildlife visit every night. Only downfall is there aren't blinds in any rooms, apart from the bedrooms. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 14 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### james k.
