The location was fantastic, very central. Great entertainment. Breakfast was fantastic but other food options were limited. We were close to external restaurants but we were tired and cold and would’ve liked more healthier options at the hotel. The heating didn’t work in our room, service did come and attempt to fix it, we thought it was fixed but it wasn’t, it was very cold.

Majority of staff are amazing, courteous and very helpful. However, there is no room service, and when asking how I could get take away from the restaurant at 2100 one night they said nothing was available and couldn’t help. This was in contrast to what staff had said earlier that evening saying I could anytime the restaurant was open. Not something you’d expect from a 4 star hotel.

The most amazing hotel. Surroundings are just perfect and there is that little bit of quirkiness! Check-in was faultless. Six girls in adjoining rooms. Rooms was absolutely fine. Love the style of the bunk beds. Hotel itself is just perfect. Lovely pool, very close to town and evenings in the bar area are fantastic. Breakfast was really good too - loads of variety. We had the BEST time and will definitely be returning.
