We had a lovely 2 night stay. Internet access along with chromecast was great. Room was lovely (twin). Pool was great. Hot tub great but a little dangerous entering and exiting when the jets are on. Could do with a hand rail. Bed in room was hard but I’m used to a softer mattress. Linen was changed after one night - wish I’d taken more notice of the notice given to me at check in regarding opting out of fresh linen as we didn’t need it. Had breakfast both mornings. Plenty to choose from. Coffee was not included in the breakfast price and the auto coffee machine that was available was pretty bad (coffee was cold both mornings). Will definitely stay again.

For a 4 star place the cleaning wasn’t great of the rooms each day. Found one staff on their personal phone while cleaning the room. They also didn’t change sheets when I dropped some food on it. Didn’t remove dirty wine glass for a couple days. On arrival in the room was dusty. Reception staff were amazing.
