Friendly staff but small room

The staff and management were friendly and helpful. However the room was supposed to be a family room, which was too small for a family of 4, especially with two teenagers. Also the photos on the website suggest the pool is bigger than it actually is. However the gardens and restaurant/bar area were very nice.

Disliked: Staff & service
Early check in at no extra charge was appreciated . Young lady at check in , was hopeless regarding customer service. Shower leaked. When reported I was told I was incorrect in my assumption. I then had to take pictures to prove the leak. Pleasant bar and restaurant. Food is average. It's a guest house not a hotel. Very clean overall. Would recommend for a very short stay. Priced decently. Great location.
