Older property
but location and staff were excellent!
The staff was very friendly, great carparking and the room was nice and clean. The food wss also very good there, so we would warmly reccomend this place😊
The reception was open 2hours a day, the pool was out of action, had been for almost a week, they could have added chlorine manually,to keep it usable till the pump came back, ive seen it done, the room was comfortable.
The staff was so friendly. We would be going back..Rissy

Great location.
We were greeted by friendly and accommodating staff. The beds were comfortable. The hand basin was a little difficult to use given its shape and location. Rooms could use a refresh as the curtains and sliding doors were difficult to open and close.
Good amount of restaurants in walking distance. Car park small for large vehicles. Difficult to park. You can hear people in the next room as if they are in your room. Noisy neighbourhood.
Reception was hard to find as it is at the rear of the building and upon entry the restaurant staff seemed to be the only ones working. After a wait we were checked in with very basic verbal communication on where to find allocated room.
Parking is not dedicated and we were lucky to find a spot at the very rear of property The rooms are not clearly marked directional wise and we had to do a few walks around to find our door.
The room itself was roomy and relatively clean.
We were unable to open the door that led to the outdoor pool garden area at all and it appeared to have been broken for quite a while. The pool area looked like it needed a bit of attention and was not very inviting.
The restaurant menu seemed to be very nice however we did not eat there that night. Easy walk to other dining options.
Easy check-in as I arrived late, reception staff went out of his way to ensure I had a nice hot meal after driving for hours. Room comfortable and clean plus parking is easy.
Amazing over night place. Very clean, amazing shower. Convent place to stay. Loved our stay here

They said they were overbooked regardless of the confirmation emails and my c/card deducted for the full amount. Very poor management or very poor communication with Expedia to and from
