Yet again the service and the facilities were second to none. The complementary coffee and muffins at reception are an added bonus. Feels like the rooms have had a nice decorating refresh as well. We will certainly be back and recommending a stay to our friends.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Ben HancockAugust 4, 2024.The room we stayed in was spacious and clean, location was great, staff friendly and the property & rooms were well maintained, great overallTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Sérgio de CarvalhoJuly 27, 2024.Very comfortable beds, good service and the rooms are very large.
