the breakfast WAS good. the smashed avocado on sourdough tasted divine.
the shower lacked pressure, so i struggled to wash my hair. the bathroom felt cramped, especially trying to use the toilet. i found it difficult to swin lengths in the pool because of the shallow depth.

Balanced Stay with Minor Issues

friendly staffheated poolamazing foodmissing air conditioninglow water pressuredamaging car park
The staff displayed friendliness and welcomeness. The outdoor heated pool was accessible directly from our room. I found the food amazing (especially the dinner).
I had some issues with the room. It lacked air conditioning, and I felt the need for better fans. The shower had no pressure, so I could not wash myself properly. The car park exit scrapped the underneath of my car, requiring extra care.

The outdoor heated pool was a wonderful feature. I swam there every day. The hot tub provided great relaxation, too. The location was very convenient. It was so close to the town center.
The bathroom sink was tiny. It was hard to fill the kettle because I couldn't get it under the tap. The surfaces in the restaurant needed some dusting, including window blinds.
