There was a lot of walking to the restaurant and Parking wasn’t particularly near my room. Luckily, I had a downstairs room otherwise there wasn’t any assistance with luggage if you were upstairs. The restaurant was quite small and when one of the tours was a breakfast there was not much seating and the food run out quickly although they were working hard to keep it topped up. The room was pleasant and the bed comfortable. It is a beautiful location.
