Quite old and rundown, but clean and well maintained. Doors/walls not soundproof at all. Sound from road noise and pubs travels and goes on to midnight (my stay was Friday and Saturday overnight) Parking on site is free-for-all.

Was not allowed to sit outside on balcony and smoke. If room left with excess rubbish would be charged for cleaning. I’m a housekeeper and have never heard of extra charge for cleaning. Did not feel welcome.Gad to pay to get a towel to use in pool. Should be supplied. staff never spoke even when we left. Wasn’t even asked if we enjoyed our stay. Very sad as such a beautiful spot with amazing views. Wouldn’t recomnend. I could keep going but I think that’s enough
