However, the cleanliness of the window was dirty, as soon as you come closer to some windows, spiders, wasps and all insects are crawling. Throughout the holidays, some curtains are closed (day and night). There's not enough woods to heat up the rooms. We have to wear extra clothes at night time to keep ourselves warm. The thermostat is hot heating up all the rooms.

Dated interior design lets the place down. Felt like the guidelines re check in (6pm) and check out (9:30am) were incredibly stingy, this, coupled with having to communicate through Sykes who could be slow, soured what would otherwise have been a lovely place to stay for a weekend.
