    Poor
    Very disappointed with the hotel, location was good but it is no where near worth the 400 per night we paid.
    Location Brilliant and the Pool was Ok
    Very dated inside, rooms very basic not even air con, a fridge or mini bar. Very expensive for what you get and they charge extra 20 per night to park and also they charge extra on an already paid for breakfast on certain items

    Location is perfect, room was lovely
    Extortionate price for car parking, breakfast wasn't very hot considering we were down for it opening due to my early rising Granddaughter. Son and Granddaughter went to the pool in the afternoon when we checked in, they were out within 5 mins due to the pool being pretty cold
