Our room was in the annexe and the balcony had no privacy and looked out onto a building site. The room itself was ok, but there was no ventilation in the bathroom. Staff were really friendly and helpful and the roof top pool/bar was great. Breakfast was good and there was plenty of choice.

Excellent place to stay.

Would not hesitate to stay at this hotel again. From check in to check out the service was impeccable from the friendly staff. Check in was quick and easy and advice given on where to find free parking spaces near to the hotel. Breakfast was plentiful with a large choice. Pool side was great with a delicious day time menu. Our room was spacious and spotlessly clean.

I would recommend this hotel for a great many reasons - it’s conveniently situated in the town, polite and friendly staff, great roof terrace with pool, seating, cafe/restaurant and panoramic views etc. But above all we thought it represented good value for what was on offer.
