Rooms were ok, they could have done with a better clean, they were very dusty. Would have been nice to be forwarned that their bistro was not open though. Made the booking expecting not to go anywhere else for tea.

What in amazing location the staff were every polite. But unfortunately the rooms seem really dated. From the ac and the tv still an old Antenna style which did not work at all for our stay for our child and down time. Some of the lights in room did not work. The room was ok for our stay but for the price would like something more updated.

Average room
No tv reception apart from ABC and NITV for 2 nights. Not a big deal but inconvenient. Had dinner at the onsite restaurant, would not do it again. Dreadful wait time and dinners were overdone. Drinks were very expensive also. Would recommend the bowling club for dinner, so much better. Our room was ok, nothing flash. Newer pillows would have been nice.
