Great place to stay, great pool and location. Pity about the pool being shut in the morning and not being told that it was shut every weekday until 4pm. Otherwise a good stay, and value for money.

Didn't get to have a shower in the room due to a "plumbing issue" they said would be fixed at midnight? There was a level to use the shower but that didn't feel right & I find unless you get all necessary facilities in the room you paid for them why bother at all

Great location and friendly staff. Hotel room did not have any plates, bowls, forks and knives for us to use. These should come provided in each room. We had to request from reception some plates which never arrived. In the end we bought our own cardboard plates and bowls. There was also no washing liquid for the two cups and mugs they did provide which made it hard to clean. No bin bag in the bin either which would have been useful.

I like staying here, particularly for the location. Very reasonably priced but you almost get what you pay for. Nothing bad but just a little tired and hasn’t aged well. Most rooms have been renovated and spacious but property overall tired. Breakfast very basic.

We arrived earlier than expected, our room was already ready which was awesome. Our room was clean, quiet, private & comfy. We especially enjoyed having a balcony!!
