The house is older, however the location and views, plus the owners hospitality way way make up for it. We stayed during the hottest week on record so it guess it highlighted any issues you could have. We thoroughly enjoyed the stay and recommend it to anyone. We will use it again as we have several training courses coming up in the area. Just a note: NONE of the surrounding restaurants or shops take credit cards only Maestro Debit cards and cash. Overseas travelers be aware to eat its cash as they didn't even accept the one lonely MasterCard I have. so Visa and Amex are well and truly not accepted. The local Thai has superb food and after the first night payment debacle we got on well with owner.
