One morning the hot water was barely luke warm. The internet was very patchy. Most of the time it cut out so had to use our own data. Staff were helpful except in respect of the internet. Otherwise OK

It was basic decor and a bit dated but had everything we needed for a couple of days. Pool was great and considering there is a bar on the premises really quiet. Great location. Could do with bigger plates.
