Naomi

Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort
The location is fantastic! We had a garden suite which was lovely. However, the wifi was terrible. Kept going out and only worked, if at all, in the living room, not in the garden, bedroom or bathroom. We have stayed here many time over the past 10 years and they could use some updating. The bathroom needs renovation. There is a mini-tub, which cannot be used as a tub, and should be renovated as a new shower. There is the same rug in the living room for the past 10 years.
