big room garden view damp smell dark room
The breakfast was amazing and included everything a veggie could wish for! The staff were warm and very accommodating. The room was big and clean. It also featured a bath with double doors opening onto a balcony. The balcony had a lovely view of the garden..
The room we were shown to was on a lower ground level and smelled damp! It was also quite dark. The room didn't match the pictures on the website.

Underwhelming and Misleading

damp smell misleading photos
My first room was quite the letdown. It smelled damp and looked much darker than the photos online. The discrepancy between expectation and reality was a huge issue. The hotel staff acknowledged the room's deficiencies at checkout, but their response felt rather dismissive.
