The staff was amazingly friendly and helpful. The food was nice. We took the half board option and thought it was a great value for the money. Breakfast was superb and served very quickly.
The bar had a limited choice of draft drinks.

There's plenty of parking space on the premises. The hotel is dog-friendly, which I appreciated, as we could eat in the bar's dining area with our furry friend. I really enjoyed that.

Acceptable stay but some improvements needed.
stained carpetlimited buffet
The room was a bit worn. I noticed some stains on the carpet, unfortunately. (I always bring my own cleaning wipes!). The breakfast buffet could use more variety. There were no gluten-free bread options and the fruit selection was limited to apples and oranges.

the accommodation was clean and tidy .
i had some issues with the room. the bedside cabinet was missing its drawers, exposing the runners (quite unsightly). additionally, the room felt quite dusty, especially around the edges and windows, with noticeable cobwebs.
