Great long weekend stay and would recommend it
Pros:

Very well placed and very clean. Staff extra helpful especially Mollie on reception. Nice to have a moveable shower rather than a rain shower which warts your hair even if you don’t want it to.

Cons:

Difficult to dry your hair with the hairdryer supplied while keeping the button pressed down to keep the machine on
