5 STARS!! FOR COMFORT, CLEANLINESS AND SERVICE
Just the kind of hotel experience we wanted! Comfortable, welcoming, friendly and attentive staff. Gardens are wonderfully peaceful. One suggestion that management could think about is adding steps down into the garden for elderly people. This particularly applies to room 112 where we stayed . Other than that a great stop-over and we would certainly come again.

Very nice Hotel
We stayed for a weekend. Our first impressions were very good. Clean hotel, very friendly and helpful staff, always smiling and ready to help. Although we did not expect much of the hamburger we ordered for dinner, it was really excellent. The buffet breakfast was really excellent as well. The room: very nice room, LARGE bed, even the sofabed was comfortable. The room was very clean and comfortable, although the toilet was leaking a bit and some lights were not working. But that is about the only negative thing. We enjoyed our stay very much. The large garden area is beautiful and when we sat at the swimming pool the staff brought us cushions for the chairs, which was really nice of them. There are lots of bunnies, chickens, ducks and goose to sit and watch and enjoy and children to play with. Overall very nice hotel!

Luke warm reception. Malaga ?
After Dinner we retired to the Room,we then wanted to Shower.We then called and informed reception of no Hot water.They said we must try again and then inform them. We then retired,next morning at 7 o clock I Tested the water again,cold I then Went to Reception in person,they called Maintenance.The maintenance man then said the Trip switch was off.We should wait again. After an hour we still had no Hot water.Then we were offered another room to Shower. I realize this can happen having had my own Guesthouse for years.But really the Hand basins outlet did not work,the Bed side light did not work,No remote for the TV,one fault is acceptable but this was Totally unacceptable.We really enjoyed the food and Gardens.
