Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
We had a ground floor room and was a good size which allowed room for the double sofa bed for our son. The bathroom was kitted out for disabled but this made the bath and showers really narrow due to the safety handle on the wall. There were a few things in the bathroom that needed some old. Shelf for towels falling off. Edges of door and tiles a bit tired etc but overall a nice stay. We didn’t eat there as breakfast seemed expensive and we had already had to pay a lot extra for moving the stay due to my husband not being well so ate out for cheaper
