"Older resort property that is being gradually modernised and is maintained well. Layout of the resort is good and the continental breakfast is welcomed. The room size was excellent with a nice outdoor area. Only downside was the bathrooms which while clean were dated with a poor layout. All in all a well maintained property and excellent value for money. Would stay again."

"The room was in excellent condition and the bathroom was very nice too. Only problem was the band playing in the pub downstairs. I was tired. Other than that, excellent all round and happy to stay there again. Sad that it was cheaper to book on line than as a walk in. It would be nice for the business to get all the money, not an os company."
