Decor dated, old stained carpet in room. Dirty teaspoon and cup. Room wasn’t properly serviced- dirty towels removed but not replaced and rubbish not emptied. Steps on pathway to pool unsafe. Restaurant breakfast too expensive. Overall not worth the room rate.

Good, but.....

The public areas are very good, with lots of sporting amenities for families, and the staff are very friendly and professional. Location is excellent if you are happy to be out of town a bit - approx. 10 minute drive. But the rooms are a little dated and in serious need of a refresh (at least ours was). There was only 1 chair and 1 bedside table in our room and I think it's reasonable to expect an enclosed shower these days rather than one over the bath with a shower curtain. That said, shower had good pressure and the bed was large and comfortable. Probably a 6.5/10 overall

Not to a resort quality

Late arrival as just stopping the night! Stayed a week before and this time a different room. It smelled very bad, spray didn’t even work on the smell at all. No amenities in the room for having something lite to eat on as restaurant closes early even for a Saturday night. No service or any way to call reception, which as resulted in a very long painful walk to reception. In general very run down, but staff are helpful and friendly.
