    Amazing - in our double room we felt more like we were in a hotel: towels, ensuite bathroom, electric blankets! All staff really helpful and friendly bar one European who very rudely rushed us out of the kitchen "guys can you hurry up now we need to clean" (we had already politely been asked to leave when we were ready with "no rush", which was fine.) Apart from that, excellent - I'd definitely stay again!
