a very pleasant stay

spacious villacomfortable villaexcellent entertainmentold carpet
the villa was spacious and comfortable. the garden view added a nice touch. i enjoyed playing tennis, and the pub entertainment proved excellent.
i found the furnishings in the room quite disappointing. the carpet looked old and worn. the curtains seemed dreary, like they had been altered without care.

the location was great, just a short walk to the town centre. i liked the neat landscaping around the entire complex. the room was in good condition, it had just a few maintenance bits to do.
the rooms felt a little dated. the carpets showed some discoloration.

I found the king pub room spacious. the bed was good and large. I also liked the pillows (i slept like a log!).
the resort is near a main road, so there was some traffic noise.
