A warm welcome on arrival, the location is really handy to the centre of town but tucked away in a really peaceful, quiet corner. The bed was really comfortable. Enjoyed having a heated pool and spa. Loved the record player in our room, and access to a vinyls collection! Complimentary cocktail (Orbitini!) each day at Happy Hour, as well as some other complimentary non alcoholic drinks, snacks and breakfast foods. Room was very clean, and beautifully presented in true retro 60s/70s style. We loved everything about this property!
