Room was cozy, modern and spacious, more than enough space for two adults and two children. Back wall of the room was all glass opening the view of a little nice patio. There is a mini fridge, a microwave snd a kettle in the room and complimentary water and snacks on arrival. Plenty of parking outside and a lot of shopping options. We did experience some shortage of staff the second day of our stay and also wi-fi signal was very weak.

I stayed in a twin room. The beds were very comfortable and the room was spacious. A little more attention to cleanliness would have been appreciated - it was a little grubby. The front door was dirty as was the front mat. But the worst for me was that the sheets didn’t smell fresh. The staff were very obliging and gave me fresh ones, however I came to realise that it was the pillows that stank. Every time I turned over I got a full whiff of someone else’s body odour. I doubt that the pillows have ever been cleaned and now just putting on a new pillowcase cannot disguise the stench. I couldn’t sleep with this going on so it spoilt my night. This place could be very excellent with just a bit more attention to detail. If you aren’t fussy you won’t mind but I didn’t enjoy it sadly.

Bed was very comfortable. Had trouble with very slow WIFI. Spa bath jets were very weak so didn’t really do anything. To supply a fridge and microwave in the room but no knifes & forks or plates was a bit disappointing. Outside pool looked nice but due to the wind the umbrellas could not be put up so there was no shade. Very convenient and local to home.
