FANTASTIC Getaway!

fresh ingredients great variety perfect temperature
I stayed for several nights and REALLY enjoyed the premises. New owners clearly care. Breakfast was AMAZING, with fresh ingredients and great variety every morning. I spent time by the pool and it was awesome.. Very clean and the perfect temperature for a refreshing swim.
The stairs were a bit steep and there was no lift. This made carrying luggage a little difficult.

free parking parking spaces garden seating tatty rest area rest area bad smell
I appreciated the family rooms. They were spacious. the large bathroom included a bath, suitable. lots of free parking spaces were available. garden seating was surrounded by greenery.
my room had a slight bad smell coming from the sink drain. i also found i could not get cold water out of the cold tap. there were broken and missing fence panels. the rest area around the pool was very tatty.

fantastic family getaway

decorated room convenient location ample parking
i enjoyed my stay SO MUCH. i had requested the staff decorate the room with balloons for a birthday, and they arranged it before i got there, a wonderful surprise! the hotel is close to both the town center and the beach, i found the location really convenient. parking was ample too, always a plus!
the hallways could use a bit more vacuuming.
