Issues caused by the owners...
Liked: The views were as expected and the studio very large and clean.
Disliked: For his/her own reasons, the owner/manager was absent and they left two young girls in charge. I have to stress here that I'm not criticising them because they were obviously doing the best that they could, or were trained to do. In my opinion they were not trained enough to confidently take charge and address potential or actual issues without having to get back to the owner. This takes time which was frustrating for my wife and me. They were also the cooks and while breakfast was adequate, we got the impression that what was displayed was the minimum needed for that day. On the first morning it wasn't announced that brekky could be cooked (bacon, eggs etc) until after I'd chosen the quantity of cereal I wanted based on my incorrect understanding that cereal was all that was available. The coffee was instant, not ground. Our internet connection packed up on Sunday and at 9.00 pm we were informed that it couldn't be fixed until Monday after we had gone. We were offered another room or a free bottle of Merlot, and while their offer was greatly appreciated, we decided against both. Again, referring to the absence of the owner - if it was due to an "emergency" type situation, all well and good, but if it was so the owner could take a break, then in my opinion, he/she should have closed shop and foregone the revenue.

Bedrooms were good. A bit...
Liked: The room and the bed were excellent. They were very good about serving breakfast a bit earlier.
Disliked: Spa was not well maintained. Can only get there by car and road steep.

A gem of a place...
Liked: The hotel is in a fabulous location. It's a little bit scary arriving at night because it's tucked away, but the views in the morning were spectacular. The room was spacious and the owner could not have been more accommodating. A lovely overnight stay.

Despite the above, we all...
Liked: Excellent breakfast.Superb view.Really comfortable bed!
Disliked: We feel there should be a refrigerator in every guest room.Guest parking not ideal.Several steps to negotiate from car park to accommodation.The road to the property was somewhat challenging and should probably be avoided in the dark.
