Clean room, slightly dated decor, good buffet breakfast, friendly staff, good location for bike riding.
Excellent hotel, nothing is missing, the room was spacious enough for four people, there is a nice heated pool that our girls would not leave, a well equipped play room for kids and adults too. and a very nice restaurant - we had breakfast and dinner and I can still feel the taste of the wonderful tomato soup!
Great Hotel for the kids. Pool was always empty and was right next to the kids centre which had plenty of games and activities to keep them entertained. Staff were friendly and breakfast buffet had great options, fresh food and topped up frequently.
We really enjoyed the hotpool and the playroom amenities especially for us, family with kids. Breakfast buffet was good also, fair for the price. The building is still under renovation during our stay so the room where we stay was a bit dusty.
All in all we did like our stay for 1 night.

The staff were very helpful and demonstrated a great attitude throughout.
A wonderful stay, very helpful friendly staff. Easy parking and FANTASTIC breakfast buffet, had the most option of different food in any breakfast buffet we have had, highly recommend
Staff here were welcoming and super helpful, everyone was really friendly. The room was a little outdated but very clean. The shower was a tad small, wouldn’t be ideal if you were very tall as the ceiling was low over the shower, but it wasn’t a problem for us. The games room for the kids was a great bonus and we spent quite a bit of time with our son down there, very fun! The outside heated pool was lovely, unfortunately two of the three nights only one spa was working. One night one was completely cold and then the next night it was only luke warm, the outdoor pool was hotter. Buffet breakfast lovely and yummy.
