The hotel room was so clean. The shower pressure was great I found the staff very cute especially Paul and Julie. Breakfast and evening meals were delicious plus there was entertainment in the evening I felt very satisfied.
On arrival I was told it's £10 per room per night which was not ideal. I did not use the spa facilities out of principle I found this disappointing, spa facilities disappointing.
