KEITH
The place is difficult to find, particularly in the dark as the road name was not recognised by my sat nav. Upon arrival there was a disagreement as my booking clearly stated that breakfast was included but the owner claimed that it wasn't. In the end it was provided, but with no explanation or apology for the mix up. We were also charged for bottles of water - something that was provided as a matter of course in the room fridges everywhere else that we stayed.
Then on to our rooms. The photos of the exteriors on the website show mellow stone buildings - ours were a row of shabby wooden sheds. There is absolutely no soundproofing, just a single wooden tongue and groove wall between each room. We could converse with our friends in the next room without raising our voices at all. Then the power went off, came back, went off and so on. We got the impression that this was not at all unusual, but only in our block, as the rest of the complex was still lit up. Nor was there a socket anywhere to charge phones etc. except by unplugging a light. Our friends had one in their room but it was broken.
There are no views of the garden. There is a large hedge in front of the rooms and through the gaps there is a view of large area of bare ground with utilitarian buildings around it.
I suppose you get what you pay for, but this is overpriced whatever they charge. I chose it because it looked charming in the advert, but reality was far from that.
