Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Room was quiet apart from any noise made in the corridor which could be clearly heard through the door. Bed was very comfortable. Curtains in need of repairs. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Unfortunately, only one of us was able to use the pool as although there was a rail, the first step into the pool is far too low to manage with knee/agility issues. Needs to be another step to make access easy. Very disappointed at not being able to enjoy the lovely looking pool.

Turned up after long day driving and after lugging all luggage to room found there was no towels what so ever not even a face cloth so instead of just getting towels brought to room they moved us 3 floors up where there was a room ready with towels . Clearly just an error but made my mind up early on would not use hotel again .
