A small room and the tiniest bathroom I’ve ever seen. AC didn’t seem to be working as with the room safe. Breakfast buffet poor; toaster not working, no cups for tea and coffee, hot items in short supply. Staff not attentive. £22 to park car overnight. Really poor value for money.

The room was clean if not a little dated. The downstairs areas are lovely to sit a chill but was upset to learn the pool facilities were not open and we had not been informed even though they did manage to email us about upgrades they failed to email about the pool.
