Rooms are small, showers and bathroom are outside and inconveniently located. As our previously booked room wasnt suitable we were downgraded, but as we complained to the new owner she has helped make our stay more comfortable and we appreciated her support. I hope to one day re experience this accommodation after the new ownership has made changes and look forward to a better experience.
