Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
The room felt outdated and had crums in the couches. The photos seemed like they where from when it first opened so wear and tear didnt show until you arrived there. The lawns where only mowed by the trampoline and BBQ but left over grown (knee height) by the swings and in all the garden beds weeds where growing & on your way to the pool grass was really overgrown which made you question if your going the right way. The Pool room itself was ok, but pool maintenance could be better. Green goo on the sides and floor (say geothermic pool but will have to question that cause it didnt feel or smell like one). Staff where lovely though & beds were comfy.

Overall it was good, but lacked basic things like small lamps for side tables. Wifi code didn’t work and office was closed early so couldn’t get a solution. The shower was in desperate need of replacing along with the lino in bathroom….would make it hygienic. Bed was like a rock. Everything else was really clean.

The room was OK but the bathroom is terrible, Had to run around the shower to get wet, really poor pressure, the TV is too small for the large room. I class it cheap but cheerful but the above issues will prevent me from returning

Great place to stay. Comfortable spacious unit. Bed a bit to firm for my liking and was pleased to have my own pillow with me. However, we would stay again.
