Good breakfast, changing rooms in pool area not very clean. Reception staff were excellent. Room was clean. We were there with 2 children aged 8 and 2 and they loved it at the hotel. We only booked a standard double but were given executive room which had a fridge. We got complimentary crisps, kitkat and cans of coke daily for all 4 of us which was great and unexpected.

The room was clean, though the sofa bed had a very thin mattress so you felt the bars in the bed frame, very uncomfortable. Pool was nice. Strange rotton milk smell in parts of corridors
