"A really unique place to stay. The staff were lovely and the breakfast was excellent. The rooms were really interesting. The weather was boiling hot and the room was cool enough but I think it might have been different if we'd been in a room that had the sun in the afternoon. The lockers were very useful to leave our things as we adventured for the day."
