8.8/10 Excellent! (819 reviews)
"Hotel lovely, staff friendly, actual room small. You get an email about a one hour booking for the pool but that’s just to guarantee a sunbed, you can go for longer and take a chance a sunbed is free or just use the pool itself. There always seemed to be sunbeds free so it wasn’t a problem."
