Bathroom had a single dressing gown , and no extraction fan .clean tidy functional but not luxurious

Great place to stay, close enough to walk to town. Clean and comfy although a bit dated and old but they are renovating. Would recommend letting people know when booking that you are renovating so they are aware. Pool and spa were not available for use (unclean). Staff were friendly and helpful.
