Property was very clean and bright. The rooms were spacious and bright but also had room darkening blinds. While the view from our room wasn’t particularly great it was very quiet and clean. The beds were very comfortable and room facilities were good. (Good shower and roomy bathroom.

The lights in the rooms are on motion sensor timers, the bathroom light went out continuously while we were in the shower. The main room light required a room key inserted into a slot to remain turned on, otherwise it turned itself off.
