Nice location but facilities not great
Pros:

Good location, evening food quite nice

Cons:

Only given 1 key therefore room in darkness if one of us went out, booked table for dinner but told up to an hour wait, noisy children running everywhere. Unpleasant smell from plug hole in basin, needed a good clean.
