The reception staff greeted us warmly and gave a tour of the hotel to our room. I found the room to be spacious. It had a wet room, copper bath near the bed and a seating area. We enjoyed drinks in the secret garden and felt totally relaxed.
The hotel is somewhat stuck in the mid-2000s fashion. The hotel is dark and tired in some areas. I noticed that the hotel had no fruit salad for breakfast.

hotel reception staffunique seating areashotel groundslimited drink selectionroad locationtoilet door
I had a genuinely lovely stay. The hotel reception staff greeted me upon arrival. They provided a tour of the hotel and showed me to my room. The outdoor seating areas in the hotel grounds are each unique.
The drink selection was not very diverse. I was offered only two lagers, one of which was Fosters. The room I booked was not at the main building. I had to walk up the road to get there, which could be difficult in bad weather. There was no door to the toilet in my room. This meant my partner could hear everything.

The decor had an interesting individuality. We also loved the hospitality. The Thai food was AMAZING!!! It was probably the best Thai food I have ever eaten.
