Room 9. The room was spacious and very clean. The shower is excellent, very strong water pressure and maintained a constant temperature. Wi-fi was good. The room was made up each day to a high standard. Couple of minor negatives. There is a front leg missing off the fridge and as such, it wobbles about when you open/close it. The room has beds for 3 people (a double & a single) and three plates, bowls, cutlery sets etc. but only 2 chairs to go with the small dining table, a 3rd could be accommodated in the space available.
