The hotel is great, room lovely, staff really pleasant and friendly. It is just the noise. I knew the hotel already but had not stayed there before. We stayed on a Friday and Saturday night in the hotel, not the boutique part, so this probably made it worse. Our room overlooked the garden bar. I knew there would be some noise but did not anticipate how noisy and how late the noise would go on for. The room was lovely and had a fantastic veranda and view, but the noise from the bar and the kitchen set up just outside the door by our bed, did detract from the enjoyment of the stay.
