Had a lovely, relaxing stay. Will definitely go there again.
Pros:

Breakfast was very nice. Good choice. Made freshly. Good portions. Delivered quickly and with a smile

Cons:

Some bulbs had gone in light fittings. Need to be replaced. Just a pet hate of mine.
Bar didn't open till 12.30. 12pm would be better as residents by pool were ready for drinks as it was very sunny and hot.

Great value for money hotel in good location.
Pros:

Found this hotel quite by accident and I fell lucky. The hotel is beautifully presented, spotless everywhere with great food a well stocked bar (with reasonable prices) a pool and a hot tub (Bookable at no additional charge). If you fancy a night in there's loads of free games all in a very nice lounge area. The two owners who run it are friendly and always willing to go the extra mile to make their guests stay an enjoyable experience. I could not recommend this hotel highly enough.

Cons:

Nothing

An excellent family run hotel.
Pros:

Breakfast was varied and good with good service. The bar area was very relaxing and the outdoor pool area was amazing; it could have been in Spain apart from tbf weather. All in all, we enjoyed it immensely. Nicki and John , the owners, were extremely helpful and went out of their way to make our stay, and that of other guests, very pleasant. We would stay again.

Cons:

Nothing
