8/10 Very Good! (1,002 reviews)
This property is still serving the 1970s in terms of decor and feel Although the rooms sre clean and tidy, you find yourself in a time warp There are no 3 pin bed sockets and when yoh have power ut doesn't work - no electrical socket power including USB The restaurant has a limited choice and unfortunately the menu is uninspiring. The bar and the restaurant shut before 8.30pm Never tried the Spa or pool as didnt have time..... The booking didnt live up to the billing I'm afraid. We wont hurry back.....

It is the most beautiful hotel - unlike any other. You have to see it to believe it. I have stayed in plenty of fancy places but this is far superior and not all that expensive. Highly recommended!
