This is an older hotel but it’s still well maintained, I had my daughter and 2 grandsons stay with me and it suited our needs. Kids loved the spa. Room was clean, maybe under the couch needs checking as we moved it and swept up what was under it. The grounds were exceptionally clean. The communal clothes line was a great idea. Single bed was uncomfortable but the Queen seems better

Closing the pool until 10:30am when checkout is at 10, thus depriving aquatic-fancying guests of a morning swim before checking out... Draconian stuff... also the rooms themselves are a bit worn out. Not very good value for money considering the price. The person at reception was unable to give me a quote for a second night stay, and dynamic/surge pricing and charges were obscene considering the poor quality of the rooms and amenities.

For the great price the property was adequate. Room quite small, bed was OK, we did not know it was a disabled room which meant the bathroom facilities were all to suit. The higher toilet with small children can be complicated. But it was clean enough and very comfortable for a one night stay. Would recommend for those passing through.

I was disappointed in this accomodation. I think the photos are very old and do not give a true idea of the accomodation. It is very dated.
The hot water was a problem. Each time I wanted to have a shower, the water did not warm up for at least 5 minutes. I hate wasting water and this really annoyed me. I spoke to reception and she acted like I was stupid not to realise that in hotels this was normal.
I will not be returning.
