Nice hotel but terrible roads

A lovely old cottage with few rooms more of a B and B style The staff are very attentive and helpful and Alex needs a special mention. The roads leading to the place are terrible The view from outside the hotel is superb. The dinner menu is westernised and plenty in proportion. The breakfast we had was plenty

Oversold facility

When booking the pictures looked nice but when you come to the place it is totally different and very misleading and disappointing Took the room because of pictures and the reduced price Even at reduced price it was not worth it An experience like this gives me a disappointment in the trust to hotels.com Staff was very friendly and did their best to their abilities
