The shower in the en-suite was the best Iâve used. The only downside to our stay was trying to access the swimming pool. Even though we tried 7days before departure, we were only able get two slots, one of which two adults and a child came in. We booked the feathers for the pool as we had our young grandson with and thought we would be able to take him swimming daily. Not so. Luckily we had fantastic weather
