Weekend break
On arrival, what a lovely friendly greeting we had from reception staff Even had a complimentary drink, Then we were showing to our room what was beautiful overlooking the swimming pool? The sauna steam room and indoor pool was lovely. The only downside and it was our fault for not reading the description further was there were a lot of dogs at the hotel. What we do not have a problem with just normally when you sit down for an evening meal, it would’ve been a lot nicer not to have the animals in the restaurant.

A disappointing stay for my son and I
My son and I spent one night at this hotel with the goal of having a relaxing day and night. Staff were very welcoming and first impressions were that this was a lovely hotel. Our room wasn’t ready as we arrived early so had a light bite however it took far too long for us to be noticed and then drinks and food to come. Our family room (which was on the ground floor) had one bedroom with bunk beds and then the other with a superking bed. The bunk bed mattresses were embarrassingly old and uncomfortable for my ten year old. We could feel every spring so ended up having to put two towels and double over a duvet to make it more comfortable. There were some sticky stains on the walls which had been missed by the cleaner and the fan in the bathroom had clearly seen better days due to large clumps of dust falling into the bath. The shower head also only delivered targeted power. For the price we had paid I was beyond disappointed.
