We made a last minute booking. It was a great price, had smiley staff & he was welcoming. They held another room for me the next night which we confirmed quite late. So, we appreciated having somewhere to stay. We really enjoyed the spa bath & fwkt it was great value for money. Thanks 😉

We stayed 1 night with 3 children, and our bed setting was awesome. We had reasonable sized beds, with a comfort sized room.

Liked: Cleanliness
Room was clean but small, dated and worn. Tv did not work and when we realised, office was closed so could not be fixed. Outside lights were turned off so pitch black when we walked back to the unit at night.
