It was alright.
Pros:

Nice location, close to peppa pig world. Helpful staff. Nice gym and pool. Big and comfortable bed and nice shower.

Cons:

Sunday breakfast was too busy. I expected more options like pancakes, french toast etc as my kid is quite fussy. Was also asked to pay for 2 days parking on arrival but I was told I could pay on check out when I booked.

Great hotel, wouldn’t stop anywhere else in the area.
Pros:

We have stayed in this hotel twice before and it’s our favourite in the area. The staff are so genuinely friendly and helpful. The rooms are well equipped and the bed large and comfortable. The provision and care taken for coeliacs in the restaurant is the best we’ve come across.

Cons:

Nothing to dislike.

Nuit agreable et très confortable pour un séjour en famille
Pros:

Accueil agréable, grand parking, chambre spacieuse. Literie du lit double parfaite.
Un grand merci à la jeune femme présente au petit déjeuner. Bon restaurant (mais portion petite attention). Propreté de la chambre irréprochable. Douche très appréciable

Cons:

Pas de chance, ça peut arriver, mais le hammam ne fonctionnait pas (le personnel a pu le constater et a agit mais sans succès)
J'ai eu du mal a comprendre avec mon anglais hésitant la réservation de la piscine mais le personnel a répondu vite à chacun de mes mails.
Je n'ai pas trouvé de prise dans la salle de bains.
Autant le lit parental était très confortable autant le canapé lit des enfants beaucoup moins, peut être voir pour ajouter un surmatelas?
