Pool was excellent. In room cooking options eg microwave or toaster would have been nice. Room interior was dated but spacious and comfortable. We did find rubbish in a drawer from previous guest but not a concern. Restaurant was pricey so didn't try it. Would definitely stay again, great location and very relaxing.

I liked our stay, however traveling with my 2 teenager sons, they got bored quite quickly. The pool was so good, we didnt manage using the gym or spa, but it was great knowing there was access. Our room was comfortable but having a jug for coffess with no water had us using the bathroom tap water 🙃 internet was alright but having it connected to the tv would of been good as well. During early hours i was woken by the room next to us making noices, so trying to make it not awkward, i ended up staying awake watching tv & eating 😅 i would like suggesting a gaming room though with like a pool table or ping pong table, it did say there was puzzles & board games but we were too shy to ask any questions lol plenty of towels for showers, so that was also nice to have after a swim
