An OK stay
We booked a garden studio and were a bit disappointed to be backing onto the laundry and as such our bathroom smelt a bit fusty. Our outside space was also disappointing as there was a bench perched on uneven slabs so was not level and not really user friendly. The corner bath with shower over was a bit precarious to get into without a proper handrail to grab or curtain around either and the shower head was too low for me being 6ft. Overall we thought the place was a little tired and in need of an upgrade. Great addition of access to the pool.

Ok for 1 night but could be better
Serves it's purpose for a short 1 night stopover. The room is dark and there is very little privacy if the curtains are not drawn since the room was very exposed to the general carpark and staircase. Lack of counter space and hooks in the bathroom. Stains on bathroom wall.

The upgrade to a 1 bedroom apartment was much appreciated and was clean and comfortable. The pool was excellent, but the fridge has a bad vibration which was noisy during the night.
