Do NOT book for the heated indoor pool. It was very cold and when asked to cycle some hot water we were told no. Staff was friendly. Rooms were nice and clean, up to date. Breakfast was okay. Apples were soft and bruised all over. I would stay here again in the summer months only. Booked for the pool for my grandchildren. We were unable to swim.
