Room was a decent size and was clean and tidy. The swimming pool and gym were good to have onsite to use. The breakfast was nice. The staff at breakfast were busy cleaning up tables and seemed too busy to be able to place an order for things like pancakes or omelette etc which was a shame. Overall a nice place to stay. Easy to find and a good location for a break.
