The room was clean and comfortable, cool in very hot weather, liked the pool. It could be improved by some plates, bowls and cutlery to go with the microwave and toaster - if they were there, I couldn’t find them.

Property was in a fair condition. For a family room for up to 7 people to sleep in there was only room for 2 towels to be hung. The wardrobe is on its last legs and not enough space for luggage to be stored. The room and bathroom could also do with a revamp.

The room and staff were lovely. Walking distance to a local pub with good food. Pool was advertised but not fit for swimming despite it being Spring and warm weather. Great value for money though and would stay again.

The property was in an OK situation in general. However, the room needed a proper cleaning, especially under the beds (found dead cockroaches) and the dusty blinds. The pool was dirty on the day we arrived and we intended to swim on a hot day, there was a tissue down the pool.

Despite a satisfactory visit about 12 months ago, we were disappointed with the room this time. There was a feeling of the room being 'run down' and we would not recommend this venue.
