Great location in a lovely clean hotel
Pros:

Great location, clean rooms and facilities and lovely choice for breakfast

Cons:

Pools could be bigger given the number of guests and would be useful to have a shelf in the shower to avoid having to bend down for the shower gel and shampoo. We went with elderly parents and it was great to see you offered the chance to book mobility aids so you could enhance this by placing a small stool in the shower.

Bra läge, men annars bara ok boende.
Pros:

Läget, frukost utomhus, städpersonalen

Cons:

Personalen i receptionen. En del var direkt otrevliga och viftade bort en, andra bara ohjälpsamma. Ingen informerade vid incheckning, fick fråga om allt. Inget bra ansikte utåt.

Absolutely will return again.
Pros:

Location, and quality of food was excellent.
Female and most male reception staff were excellent.

Cons:

Only the one male staff member on reception, who when asked by my wife for a recommendation for an Indian restaurant nearby for her birthday evening meal commented rather rudely that he didn’t know any as he didn’t eat Indian food.
