Very Good

The staff are brilliant, super friendly and professional! The location is fantastic along with ample parking makes for a great stay.
Food and drinks are really reasonably priced and of a top level quantity, just a brilliant place to stay.
We really enjoyed our stay. We had a balcony to our room which allowed us to chill out in the sunshine which is just what we needed due to circumstances.
We enjoyed a two night break, the hotel exceeded my expectations.
All the staff were friendly and helpful.
We ate in the bar on 3 occasions and the food was very good.
Super place to stay, very clean, friendly staff and fabulous food, best cocktails

Very welcoming and helpful staff at reception. All staff very friendly throughout our stay. Had a few stairs to get to our room which I wasn’t sure about but was well worth it when we saw our executive room.

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities
The overall stay was ok
Bar staff were inexperienced and during the day overstretched as they appeared understaffed
The insulation/ soundproofing in the room on the 3rd floor was totally inadequate
Every footstep from above and even phone alarms from adjoining rooms were clearly audible
Food was good and cleanliness excellent
Pool area also good
