Noisy and old. Although a beautiful location this property is in need of some serious updating and redecorating. Our ceilings had peeling paint and brown damp patches. Beds were too soft (rolled into the middle) and furnishings were dated and shabby/scratched looking. Air conditioning units were extremely noisy! Cleanliness however could not be faulted.
