Clean and nicely decorated room. Unexpected mini fridge with nice goodies in it - drinks, kitkats, crips, biscuits. Massive and comfy bed. Great shower. Breakfast was good & plentiful. Only think that lets this hotel down is the poor state of repair in leisure facilities- noisy plant, grubby looking, pool lining ridged, changing facilities a little dirty and needing work. Money needs spent on an overhaul to this area of the hotel. Otherwise we thoroughly enjoyed all aspects of our stay.

The property is old, the first room we were given stinked so we had to change. The second one was better but the pillows dirty. The hotel is along a busy road, half of the rooms are therefore very noisy. That said, the staff is lovely and hard working and the restaurant and bar are absolutely fine.

The hotel stay was overall average. We didn’t have much interaction with the staff, apart from check-in. The front desk staff member who assisted us was polite and efficient, though nothing particularly stood out. The experience was straightforward, but not memorable.
