Won’t be going back .
Pros:

Spacious rooms. Very good breakfast.

Cons:

Staff were really bad. Three people on site but only one actually doing any work. Waited on reception for ages. Waited for drinks for ages. Very fawlty towers service with warm white wine and a lot of calamity. Unpreporsessing hotel and set up. Photos of hotel very misleading.
