Room was very clean and nice, we stayed in the 2 bedroom suite but there are no doors for the 2 different rooms, walls are soo thin that you can hear everything happening on the hallway outside the room and the constant slamming of the door that connects from the restaurant to the rooms was extremely loud, woke us up constantly in the early morning so bring ear plugs. Location is great.

The room was nice, except the fact it was two single beds put together, very uncomfortable couple of nights, staff were nice enough, chicken kebabs where a bit undercooked towards the top of the skewer and the squid was over cooked and chewy, the hotel is dog friendly and has a lovely open fire and great walks near by
