Love the renovated room, nice firm bed. Nice plunger coffee. Housekeeping staff are great. Reception may need improving. We arrived 1:40pm ( yes too early ) nobody at reception, when receptionist came 2pm check-in, we are ok with this. Came back 2:30pm, nobody, rang the phone & waited. 15 mins later we walked around the back & found another Receptionist, phone has no batteries. 3pm checked in. Lucky the room is nice. Happy ending.

We had a downstairs unit which meant that we could hear everything that was happening upstairs, even just them walking around upstairs was very loud. I think that some noise insulation between the floors should have been added when the property was renovated. Nice new kitchen and bathroom facilities, comfortable beds.
