The Rose Cottage was a mixed experience for me. While the staff member who helped with our luggage was lovely, the room lacked a safe, had no air conditioning during hot weather, was small, and the WiFi didn't work inside. On the bright side, the room was very clean and spacious.

Staying in Cove Cottage down the very steep hill was an absolute pleasure, offering a beautiful location and amazing service. The rooms were comfortable, although some minor improvements could be made. Dining was superb and filling, ensuring a worry-free lunch, and the facilities were top-notch.

The room, single storey on the corner of the hotel with its own front door and verandah, was slightly chilly due to the open door to the spa opposite, but overall comfortable.
