a reasonably good stay
helpful staff delicious meal great access dirty room unusable socket small room
the staff were helpful and friendly. lunch and evening meals were amazing. food was beautifully presented and delicious. access to the pool, jacuzzi, sauna, and gym was convenient.
The room was not cleaned properly from previous users. The toilet was unflushed. the curtains did not fit, and there were no usable plug sockets. the pillows and duvet felt old and lumpy. the room size was small.

comfy beds spacious room
I booked a twin room and received a room with one double bed and one single. The beds felt VERY comfortable. The bathroom included a large shower, it had a non-slip mat provided.
The hotel decor seemed a little unloved.

friendly staff restaurant staff lovely views great bar dated room old room old carpet missing fridge
The staff was very friendly, especially the restaurant staff. the location was great too, with lovely views all round! there was plenty of room inside for relaxation, and the bars were great..
The rooms felt very dated, and they did not look as expected from the photos. the old carpets were not very appealing, and the furniture felt outdated. There was no fridge in the room, it was inconvenient..
