The hotel stands -proudly surveying the surrounding empty countryside from its slightly elevated position, justifying the dirt road drive. Although there is a magnificent property overlooking lawn, trees and swimming pool, the bedrooms are set around an adjoined inner courtyard the opposite side of the magnificent property. Rooms are quite small with little light, this being an old building with thick walls and smallish windows. Room was ok for sleeping in, but not much else. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Food was reasonably good. A loudspeaker placed in a restaurant window broadcast Anglo-American music from 1960s to 80s from around 6pm to create « ambiance ». Unfortunately this could be heard in the bedroom. The jewel for me, on a hot autumn day, was the lawn on the other side of the magnificent property, shaded by beautiful trees and backing onto the pool, a very pleasant place to read and dream. The pool, disappointingly, was covered with decomposed and decomposing leaf mould. I swam a few lengths, but it was not pleasant. As a result, this review should be for three or three and a half stars, but the employees, particularly the lady at dinner, were so charming that I couldn’t give only three stars, so four it has to be!
