This is an aging building. I could not turn the shower on and eventually the valve had to be replaced. This was not handled expeditiously. When I finally got a shower it was tepid even at the highest setting. The same was true the rest of the time. The shower was in the bath which was high and hard to get into and there was no "telephone" appliance. I shall not stay there again. On the plus side it was easy to park in the handicapped parking and enter directly to reception.

The property evidently had various extensions and upgrades, but in some places, quite dated. The car park is free, but probably due to extensions, limited spaces, so you may need to use the Zoo car park. The pool was barely large enough to swim in and the sauna was out of order. That said, the room was immaculately clean, staff was very friendly and it has rather spacious breakfast/ dining area. I would stay there again.

At check in we found a double bed in our room when we had previously been assured this would be changed to two single beds. Inconveniently we had to change rooms. It was noisy with staff stepping outside to smoke and chat continuously throughout our stay. The choice of food in the dining room was poor and expensive. The downstairs ladies toilets near reception were unclean and unh
