Lovely well-located hotel struggling to cope with the number of rooms/occupants.
Pros:

Our room was spacious and the sofa bed had been nicely prepared for our arrival. The quality of buffet breakfast was very good. The bar area had a nice ambiance.

Cons:

Only one English breakfast tea bag in our room - at least make it two!. Always a big queue at reception or entry to breakfast. We came with our grandchildren. Tried to book a slot in the swimming pool but we were unable to do so. It never really occurred to us that we might not be able to use the pool.
