a LUXURY retreat

sitting roomfriendly staffroom readiness
The maisonette spanned two floors. it included a sitting room, toilet, and rainforest shower downstairs, and a large bedroom upstairs. we were particularly impressed by the staff. They were friendly and professional throughout our stay.
I arrived early after being advised rooms were often ready. my room was not ready until later. this delayed plans for a spa appointment, A key reason for the stay.

uneven experience

the parking was adequate.
the room lacked a proper desk or dressing table , and there was no surface space in the bathroom to place toiletries. i also noted the absence of a chair, only an upholstered stool. corridors were carpeted with a pale tan carpet that showed marks easily.
