While the property isn’t new, the place is extremely comfortable. The rooms were well set out and the staff were very friendly. We’d originally booked one night but ended up staying for three.

The property is pleasing to look at. We stayed in a chalet. The design of the chalet is such that a large triangular glass section at front and back has no window covering - so expect the room to be light at daybreak. We stayed in #12. This room has receives full afternoon sun until late in the day. This means that in summer the room gets very hot. There is no air conditioning. While there was an upright fan provided to cool the room it didn't cool the whole room - you have to be directly in front of it to get any benefit. So, every night we would go to sleep with the fan blowing on us but it was still hot and uncomfortable - and noisy. We stayed four nights but wished we had stayed somewhere else.

The images on booking.com are very clear, and the large windows are part of the attraction. No where does it say we have aircon, so not sure why you thought we did. At no point during your stay did you mention you had any issues, so you never gave us an opportunity to help you. You should never put a place down, until you have given them the chance to put it right. I would rather give you your money back, than have an un-happy customer.

The location is wonderful and the chalet was spacious. There were a few spots in the shower which showed it had not been thoroughly cleaned.

As you were Anonymous, I have no way of checking your room or talking to the cleaner in question. As most people who stay here, are amased at how clean the rooms are, I do find this an extremely rare comment.
