Property was very tidy. room was spacious and had all I needed in it. Bathroom was very tidy and clean and pressure was good. Loved the idea of collecting the excess water for the gardens ( as there was a water shortage in the area ) from the shower warming up. Close to town but still quiet .

See the Underworld
The facility was easy to find, within walking distance of shops but a little out of the centre. Everything was new and clean with friendly welcome. The only fault I could find (and which seems to be common so far on this trip) was no ice cube tray for the fridge!
Wonderfully clean, super comfortable and modern ... loved everything! See you again soon!
