The room was very small and very hot - however there was a fan provided which was great. The only crockery in the room was glasses, cups and teaspoons, but on request I was provided with some plates, knives, folks and spoon. Overall the location was awesome and the price was great compared to others around it. The Social Club meals were lovely and reasonably priced and the staff were very friendly.

Cosy property, no aircond which on a warmer night made sleeping difficult. A fan was provided which helped. Pool was good for kids, spa was outdated and dirty. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Would we stay again - Yes. Expectations met the fee paid

Great location and awesome pool and spa. The spa was rather dirty but we used it regardless and tried not to mind. The room itself probably needs a good dusting cause myself and my partner found eachother constantly sneezing and having runny noses throughout our stay. Their rooms dont always have a microwave but they were fast to bring one to us. Unfortunately we were unable to use the kettle in the morning as the heating element looked extremely rusted and unsafe/dirty. The TV was not smart so watching netflix is not an option unfortunately. We did appreciate they had a charging station for EV cars and the location was just great. Good walk to the central resturaunts.

Loud pipes inside walls, stay on the second floor.
Upon entering the room, I immediately noticed some pipes inside the wall making a loud, constant noise, about TV volume. I spoke with reception, and they informed me that they couldn’t do anything and that I should speak to a manager who would be in the next morning. After a sleepless night, I returned the next morning, and was told the manager would arrive in the afternoon. I returned later and was able to switch rooms. My advice for anyone staying here is to request a room on the second floor, as my second night was fine.
