Good hotel. Weird smell in the room

Loved this hotel. Food was ok. The only thing was a weird smell in the room for the two days we stayed. It was like a sour or stale smell. Service was excellent. Staff couldn't be better. Family friendly. The smell was off putting though. Facilities good.

Recommend for customers with poor mobility

I had a double room booked as my mum has mobility issues. Staff could not have been more helpful. They recommended the floor with the most suitable room and one close to the lift. At breakfast they found a table with suitable access for a wheelchair. Highly recommend the hotel and it's staff for people in a similar situation

Lovely rooms. Dirty swimming pool

Stayed as a family in a suite. The room was fabulous and a great size… we did pay for a 2 bed suite and part of it was locked but the staff were great and able to go unlock the 2nd room for us (this was the one with the kitchenette and sofa / dining table). The hotel is lovely and well staffed. Room was very clean and does show some wear but no major issues. The check in at 4pm we found to be REALLY late in the day, especially when you’re only staying 1 night. They allowed us to use the facilities while we waited for our room. The facilities are also good however swimming pool needs some updates. the ladies changing rooms were totally disgusting. I appreciate these are also used by non hotel guests however they clearly hasn’t been cleared all day. Covered in food and hair. Really put me off!
