The hotel is nestled on the edge of the Town Centre but conveniently close to the golf course, offering a serene location with beautiful French windows opening onto a lovely patio. The rooms feature a beautiful bathroom with a free-standing bath but lack additional amenities. The service provided by the manager and staff is exceptional, although dry cleaning services come at an extra cost.
