Thank you for your feedback. All our rooms have either very comfortable Queen size beds or luxurious Kind size beds! High touchpoint amenities have been temporarily removed from our rooms as a covid safety measure, but we will happily deliver them to your room on request.

Only minor problem, crowded area to unload the car and the having to go to another car park because the Olsen’s was full.

The pool was in great condition and a lot of fun. We were disappointed to find no spa available to us, as when we booked Wotif listed a spa on their website. There was also a photo of the hot tub. When we arrived we were informed by reception that this was only in the penthouse and not for all guests to use. The website also listed that the restaurant was available 24 hours for room service. When I called I was told that the restaurant was closed over Easter.
