Deluxe Double Room (2 Adults + 1 Child) Deluxe Double Room (2 Adults + 1 Child) Aug 31, 2025 family with young children
+ Location excellent. Room size (deluxe family room) and en suite were massive. Good value for money.
− Decor war tired - cracks in paint and peeling in en suite. Some tiles cracked in en suite and the fit of the shower curtain wasn't ideal (water all over the floor after use). Carpet could do with a wet/dry vacuum but as it was dog-friendly not bad at all. Entrance foyer was full of pigeon feathers and reception was only while the bar was open. Having said all of this I would stay here again quite happily.

Family Room (2 Adults + 2 Children) Jul 28, 2025 family with young children
+ We had a late check in and had to check in at the bar which was pretty busy but the staff were very welcoming. The room was larger and more comfortable than we expected. Seems like it’s in a great location.
− The carpet is worn and dirty.
