Poor experience for family stay

Poor consideration for family, given a room way farside corner, guests with dogs were neighbours, dogs kept barking and couldnt sleep well. Corridor carpet had dog poop not cleaned for hours. If not booked for breakfast/dinner the wait time is 1 hour. Staff not friendly. Pool & jacuzzi substandard.

Overall would recommend

Staff very friendly and helpful. Good good. Bed a little uncomfortable. Pool nice and quiet in the daytime. Duvet very lumpy and no filling in areas so got a little cold in the night. Cracks in the bathroom basin.

We chose this hotel as we wanted a quiet night away not too far from home and away from the busy tourist areas and it didn’t disappoint. It’s hard to judge a place on a quiet weeknight in November but we had a lovely stay. The room was lovely and clean with everything we needed. Dinner was great even if very quiet but to be expected this time of the year. Breakfast was freshly cooked and a large range of things in the buffet. Plenty of fresh coffee offered at regular intervals. All the staff we met were so nice and friendly and professional. As I have worked in hotels and most recently as a housekeeper I notice any little things that are often overlooked but I was fully relaxed and everywhere was clean and tidy and there was nothing that would put me off from going there again.

Relaxing break

Lovely comfortable room, only issue was the TV wouldn't turn off or volume turn down so was on all night on my first nights stay. Reception sorted it next day for me.food and service were very good. Would definitely visit again.
