Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Staff were great! Room was clean, the sink did have a big crack in it which made me slightly nervous but didn’t appear to leak. Our guest information did mention that there was a safe, though I couldn’t find this. The restaurant didn’t appear to be open in the evenings, but we tried the breakfast on the final day. Really good selection for those without any dietary requirements, but not so many vegan options. The staff did very kindly make a separate dish of mushrooms with oil for my partner though, so thank you! Pool, hot tub, sauna and steam room all in good working condition too. Bed was very comfy. Thank you!
