The 'tower room' is noted as impractical for longer stays due to its multi-level layout and lack of luggage space. One room also had an issue with a persistent smell.
“We booked the tower room, which was lovely and would be great for a one night stay, however due to the style of the room it wasn’t very practical for 3 nights, the bedroom is upstairs and you go via a winding staircase and the bathroom toilet facilities are all down stairs and there’s not much space for luggage etc”

We stayed in a self catering room which was spacious and had a well appointed kitchen and a nice view over the large and clean pool.”
“There was a splendid service and the staff was very friendly. We had a great spacious appartment with a fireplace. Very comfortable bed and pillows. Every day they delivered new firewood. The room was cleaned every day. Breakfast was basic but had everything you needed nevertheless. The host made sure we got fresh juce, coffee and an omelet every day. Great price-quality ratio.”
