This is a disgusting hell hole that is to be avoided. I can only imagine that the positive reviews on here are from staff or friends and family of the owners. We arrived having booked their best room. We opened the door to be met with a very heavy musty / mouldy smell. I opened the french windows to the "sun terrace" - itself covered in mud and leaves and next to an extractor fan from the kitchen- in the hope of letting some of the smell out. I sat on the bed to find it so creaky and rickety it was clearly not safe - and nobody could ever sleep on it as it was. I opened the bathroom door and was met with an even stronger smell of damp and mould. I went to reception and they agreed to try to change our room. We went out. 2 hours later we came back, were given keys to the new room and went up to find it was a typical builders room in a builders hotel. Tiny, red hot, worn carpet, tiny bed and a massive puddle on the bathroom floor from the leaking radiator. Disgraceful. I went to reception and said we weren't staying and requested a refund. They said Hotels.com would have to do the refund. Hotels.com tried to contact the hotel - they ignored them - so I haven't got my money back. AVOID LIKE THE PLAGUE

The staff were amazing we were on a motorbike trip and they accommodated storage of our bikes, drying our very wet gear, food was brilliant for both dinner and breakfast, only downside was some very drunk, very loud locals coming into the bar/restaurant and shouting and swearing and generally being a nuisance and disruptive. Other than this one thing a brilliant hotel and great stay
