spacious bedroom high ceiling extra charge packed pool
The room was spacious. It featured a bunk bed and a large double bed, very comfortable for my needs. The restaurant area displayed beautiful high ceiling design, I liked it a lot.
Upon arrival, I learned about an extra charge of £30 for spa access. The pool was full of children. It was like a packed leisure center, not the relaxing experience I hoped for.

the open fire in reception offered a warm welcome, a lovely detail i noticed. the spa's ambient lighting created a luxurious, relaxed atmosphere i found comforting. we plan to return for another stay to fully relish the hotel's charm and tranquility.
this oversight led to feeling like an inconvenience, diminishing the overall sense of smooth service.
