The room was spotless, but housekeeping had failed to register a failed lightbulb in the bathroom and the fact that one curtain had come unhooked in 2 places making it difficult to draw.

Room was great and breakfast very good. Pool and sports facilities were excellent, however the sauna floor was wet and slippery. I slipped and fell and have pulled a muscle in my back.!!!

6/10 Good

The room (1) was noisy. We could hear the guests next door showering. And the plumbing in our room also needed looking at as every time we flushed the loo or showered the pipe work would be noisy. We reported it. Breakfast buffet was great.

6/10 Good

It was generally a lovely stay but there was a funny smell in the pool area and also in the morning in the bedroom there was a odd smell of sewage. TV is very old and dated but otherwise general facilities were fine and the location was good.

Fairly spacious room and clean except coffee/tea stains on one wall). Some of the furniture definitely seen better days. Mattress and pillows rather hard! Great bathroom/shower although looked like an apprentice had done the siliconing in places 😳 Good value for money except the car parking charge - cheaper to use local car park nearby but it was too wet this time.
