Hotel is nice and recommended ( EXCEPT the swimming pool)
Pros:

Staff, family room are spacious, cosy and nice interior

Cons:

THE SWIMMING POOL - pool walls were moulded and not cleaned, pool are was not warm enough, a window was left opened, broken ceiling, water was salty and not cleaned.

One of the Senior Mgt mentioned hotel is considering to refurbish the pool area.

However, at least they could make an effort to clean mould on regular basis before public using. This was not acceptable !!!

We’e been there 4 times but we won’t be going again .
Pros:

The room was clean and comfortable

Cons:

Our sleep was disrupted with doors slamming. The food was very poor and the staff weren’t very helpful if you could find anyone. And the hotel and the road going to it were in bad , in need of repair .

Although pool was disappointing we had the best stay
Pros:

Loved the location and the rooms
Soft furnishings were so nice

Cons:

We booked it for the pool drive 2 hours to get there , when we went to enter the pool it said it was closed and had been for a couple of days! Receptionists was quite blunt saying it’s closed.
We was told to drive to another hotel and there was no showers.

Lovely stay in a great location. Friendly helpful staff especially Kelly and Shakira.
Pros:

Beautiful building in lovely grounds.

Cons:

Nothing negative about the property just the lane leading to the building. Difficult to drive along in a low sports car with all the potholes.

We were put in a room above the kitchen where the loud extractor fan was very loud and even vibrated the bunk beds until gone 10 pm at night and then started again at 6am which meant my children could not sleep and then was woken up very early

Cons:

The room
