It’s very convenient for the train station. We love the pool and the rooms, whilst dated, are very comfortable. The staff are always great. Lama needs a special mention. Breakfast this morning was crazy but he was exceptional as was his team. Well done.

It was super busy and not enough staff on duty. Shame no food was available for such a busy weekend. The rooms were so so hot. The cooling system is so dated and ours didn’t work. The staff were great and sorted us a fan which helped.

Really good value (with the half board) lovely pool/gym for this price point. Staff were all really friendly. Appreciated the 12 check out time.

There was lots of equipment not put away in the gym, I was there early(ish) and would be surprised if that much mess has been made that morning. Great facilities and this is really nitpicking.
