Bistro onsite have lovely meals. Staff were courteous. Room was ok, not finished off, blanket in cupboard was not new, it had been screwed up and shoved in. No instructions for wifi or dining, just a map. Overall stay was ok, don't expect the finishing touches.

Had a reasonable night's sleep in a comfy bed & a hot shower which meets the basic needs in a remote place. Resort is a misnoma. Rooms & public areas could do with a refresh. Rooms & grounds are spacious.
