Overall our stay was very disappointing due to several service issues. I made a complaint for a partial refund through the platform, which the hotel showed no interest in resolving. Nearly all Sky TV channels were locked due to a widespread parental control issue, and despite requests for this to be resolved during our stay (we eventually gave up calling reception as the phone is always engaged or off the hook), no one followed up to resolve it as was promised. Additionally, the pool was effectively inaccessible to adult guests during peak hours on Saturday evening due to children’s swimming lessons taking up all lanes, with unhelpful responses from staff. It was also a similar situation with the gym which is clearly frequented mainly by external visitors who pay to access it. If you’re hoping for a few luxuries as we were, don’t count on them being available.

Laura at the front desk was excellent. The only hotel that we have ever been in where we had to wear bathing caps in the pool which we feel was just a money grab.
