Me and my son really injoyed our stay and the staff were very friendly. Our room was a executive room very big and spacious. The restaurant was closed during our stay which was a shame and the outdoor pool which was fine because it was a bit chilly. However when we got to the room the toilet was dirty and I had to clean it, also the mugs, glasses and spoons were not clean. The breakfast was good which we only had once as I felt it was a bit too expensive. Over all great stay and good location.

Wonderful stay
We was in room 106 which was a little dated but spotlessly clean and the bed and pillows one of the comfortable i have slept in. The indoor pool i thought was cold i would pay more for it to be a few degrees warmer. All staff was so friendly and breakfast is definitely worth paying for as it was absolutely delicious. On the whole we had a brilliant stay, would of been nice for a bit of entertainment but there are other places to you can go for that. Will definitely being going back again.

The Hotel had a flamboyant grandeur from yesteryear. The indoor pool was great. The room was very spacious. High ceilings. I would say perhaps the general decor could be updated slightly and carpets need cleaning more thoroughly or being updated. We didnt eat there so cant comment. The reception staff were really friendly and accommodating. Overall a nice stay in a great location.
