Still love this hotel overall.
Pros:

We stay here a few times a year. Location is excellent & love the outside terrace. The staff are very good & breakfast is excellent.

Cons:

This time booked 1 room with double & 2 singles for grandsons but were given 2 adjoining rooms which didn’t work for us at all. Rooms weren’t ready for us at 3pm then door keys wouldn’t work. The toilets in both rooms looked filthy but realised it was bad staining- not a good look when u walk in!

Pros:

Comfy beds, nice facilities. Excellent breakfast and location.

Cons:

There was a problem with the computer system on the day we arrived, and we waited a long while to check in and have a room available, with quite a lengthy queue at reception. The shower was also not great - perfectly clean but not very powerful at all.
