Property was close to where we wanted to be. Beds were clean and fresh. Some maintenance issues in both rooms - ceiling fans were either like cyclones or hardly moving, only one bedside lamp was working in one of the rooms.Some attention to detail re cleaning was needed - old soap left behind, dirty cup in sink.

It was pleasant and close to shops, plus a restaurant on site. but the room was not well cleaned and the towels were tiny and well worn. and the lace curtains were filthy. Perhaps this is because there are new people owning the place and it needs a lot of work.
