The excellent view from the apartment. The welcome package with dishwashing tablets and cloths and utensils. The apartment was well equipped and had everything you needed to cook a meal. The apartment was cosy and clean. We did feel the pricing of the meal at the bar was expensive for what you received and wasn’t value for money. On the whole the staff were nice and friendly. There was an occasion when we arrived at our apartment and the smell in the apartment was not to our liking, we made a staff member aware but there was no suggestion to help remedy this which we feel would have been good service. Overall, we would be happy to come back.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Stayed in the self catering lodges and it looked like something out of a care home. Furniture dated back to the 60’s and a musty/damp smell throughout. Shower screen was hanging off, bath panels were hanging off and the drawers didn’t have runners so were lying squint. The WiFi only worked in the main living room, and at this it kept cutting out. We weren’t allowed to book breakfast or dinner as it was kept for hotel guests. Poor attitude from staff, false advertisement of lodges and just an overall disappointing stay.

Great place but could be better
Overall lovely hotel and location with great facilities. All staff we encountered were polite, helpful and friendly. We ate in the Garden Room restaurant with our kids and it was more upmarket but lovely food and staff, just more expensive which was expected. One member of staff had a slight body hygiene issue and a dirty shirt which you wouldn’t expect in a more upmarket restaurant but he was very friendly and served us well. We stayed in an apartment which was very spacious and had good facilities like a sauna and corner bath but some things needed upgraded or didn’t work. Our main issue with the apartment was that although it was clean, there were dog hairs on the throws on the beds and this is not good for people who have allergies. My partner has allergies to dogs and it can bring on his asthma. It would be good to have the option of having a room or apartment that is totally pet free but this isn’t the case unfortunately. The changing rooms in the swimming pool building need upgrading but there are a lot of other things to do during the day that we didn’t see.
