This is a lovely Property to stay and the staff are extremely helpful and friendly (especially Liam). The only reason I didn’t give 5 stars is that we stayed in room 310 and the AC unit is shared with the room next to us. The 2 rooms cannot be on different temps so we melted whilst the man next door had his AC on 25°. Maintenance tried to get him to compromise by offering an extra blanket but some people are just difficult. We had to leave early and staff were great with their decision to refund 50% of the unused nights. This was greatly appreciated. Overall a lovely property and we will definitely stay again. Highly recommend.
