Lovely hotel, friendly staff. We were in the annex which was a couple of minutes walk away from the main hotel (be careful if you are traversing in heels!. Everything was clean and tidy, although the hand soap/shower wash had not been filled. I would stay again. I did not mention to the staff about the soap so cannot fault them on what I did not mention. Staff were very lovely.

Quirky with some lovely staff in the evening in the restaurant. The gardens are also beautiful but small things could really enhance the hotel to get more from its potential. My stay improved after a few small disappointments. The room was warm and quiet. The meal on the second night was excellent (first night's green curry with poppadoms was less so and lacking in flavour).
