Unfortunately the room was filled with ants crawling over the floor and walls. I didn't notice on checking in and entering my room as it was dark however once I knew they were there I checked out refusing to complete my stay. I took photos and video of the problem and told reception but it was suggested it was normal to expect as that room backed into the garden. Sorry but not acceptable. I sent a message directly to the hotel to request this only to be told to inform the booking company first. Here it is then.

The staff here were so lovely that I almost don’t want to comment on the property- the room was filthy, there actually wasn’t someone on the desk the whole time, the photos on here are not of the inside of the property, there’s no hot water… but the bed was clean, it was actually really quiet and the staff I did see were really helpful… would have been brilliant for one night, was ok for two nights- really would have been impossible beyond that
