I liked that it was close to wineries and restaurants, also the peace and quiet surroundings. I was expecting it to be cleaner. Shower heads and tub was a little rusty. Sofa had old dirt marks. For a relax weekend, getting out of the city was good.

The reception staff on arrival were less than helpful. We were assigned upstairs rooms (no lifts!) which was no good for one lady. To reach the pool was very inconvenient General cleanliness was lacking. Cudos to Hayley -reception - on our last night. Cleaners were knocking on the door at 9.30 when checkout was 10. Not very professional. Will not be returning!

There was an issue on check in that I had only booked one room when I had booked two. It was seemingly a fault from the last minute website not feeding through to the hotel. The woman at reception was not overly helpful and just kept saying she only had one room booking despite me showing evidence I booked two and my bank transaction showing I had for two rooms. I had to ask if there was a second room, which there was but then I was going to be charged again for the room. The manager stepped in to help and said she would fix it as she could see I had booked and paid for two rooms. After this, everything was good. Lovely food and great service from the restaurant. The room was spacious and comfortable and a lovely pool.
