Pros:

Room was nice though was a little dated. It could do with a general make over. The TV was good, shower was good. Bed was very comfortable. Desk was easy to store stuff on. Lighting was easy to use and you had different levels of adjustment. Nice bar and restaurant.

Cons:

Toilet was right behind the door which made it feel cramped. No exhaust fan to remove steam in the bathroom. Towel holders were right above toilet and difficult to get too.

Pros:

Proximity to the event we were there for.

Cons:

Overpriced for what we got.
Family room seems to have been forgotten... mouldy, cockroaches, spiders, poorly maintained, linen had some stains, towels were thin and smelt funny, pillows were awful!

We will return as we were very happy in general and friendly staff
Pros:

The staff were amazing and so friendly, loved the location of our room, I requested a room with a lake view which was so nice, also a great restaurant

Cons:

I didn’t think the room we had was good value for money, I know nothing can be done about the dump birds but there was poo all over the patio in front of our room
