We booked king room with water view to stay for 3 nights 4 days to celebrate our wedding anniversary. On third day we discovered scaffolding erected obstructing view and incredible buider noise fron assembling the scaffolding. There was no notice, no apology, no explanation from the staff. Not happy at all, they could have handled better!

We were arriving after reception had closed and were given a convenient option to collect keys and a map to find our garden room easily. The room was spacious and clean, I only hope that they upgrade to having real coffee available in the rooms…nescafe is not an option.
