Reviews and Ratings
I had a lovely stay at this hotel. The rooms, though not in the main building but off to the side of the pool, were clean, comfortable, and had all the usual amenities. The location was excellent for exploring, with friendly staff and delicious food. However, the dining experience had a slight hiccup with the early morning service. Overall, great value for money.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were clean but very outdated and in need of a refresh, though being close to the leisure center was a nice touch after a long walk. The service was friendly, but there were some issues with preparing breakfast. The location was lovely, with attractions within easy reach, but the dining choices were limited. Overall, a decent stay considering the need for updates.
The hotel room was spotless and comfortable on the inside, with a huge bed, plenty of space, and a nice patio for parking right outside. The windows could have been cleaner on the outside due to spider nests, but it was a great stay. The rooms were a bit small and old, though.
