8/10 Good
"We stayed at Seagaia Forest Cottage. Our room had two bedrooms with 4 single beds in each room. The living room was large with a small kitchen. I think I was built to accommodate young athletes who came to the tennis training facility. The cottage was a bit aged. The breakfast buffet had good selections."

"Beautiful place. The rooms were huge and clean. The scenery out the window was so pretty. The staff were friendly. The only negative points was, 1. We were there early October and was still so hot but they had closed the outdoor pools for summer which was very unexpected. We had booked the place for the outdoor pool and 2. Location was away from the city centre so you need a car"
