The property is old, the first room we were given stinked so we had to change. The second one was better but the pillows dirty. The hotel is along a busy road, half of the rooms are therefore very noisy. That said, the staff is lovely and hard working and the restaurant and bar are absolutely fine.

Clean hotel. Pool was great, unfortunately we called the day we booked to enquire about using the pool, we were told by bookings that yes it was open. Arrived a few hrs later to find it closed until the next day. So check before if you are using the pool. Reception staff where fantastic and allowed a slightly later checkout (happy kids!) Would stay again. Breakfast was lovely!
