This place had nice views . The room was pretty big but couldve done with a basin .wouldve been a quiet room but kids in next room were sick so could hear them coughing . Not the propertys fault . The bistro was a big space but half the meals on menu were unavailable and we went early but the meals we got were very tasty . The staff were pretty plesant and the one woman musician was good too.
The camel burger . A bit dry but still very tasty

Would recommend but just for one night

Room was okay for one night- tired paintwork but clean enough and toilet block and showers were clean with plenty of hot water in the showers The bar was great- good value happy hour and large selection of food. Food was a little dry but okay. Had the buffet breakfast which was good value Would recommend if passing through and need a place for one night We stayed in the basic room- double bed but not en suite

The room was ok, but we were not advised when booking that the room did not have a bathroom, but a group/common bathroom and toilet that was a 30 meter outside walk. The price we aid for the room should have included a private bathroom within the room.
