Beautiful view, great pool, spacious room. The reception staff wasn’t as friendly as they could be. Cold breakfast options aren’t great but hot options are good.

Family trip
The staff are all fantastic, so friendly, the pool and spa areas were really good (if perhaps the changing rooms could do with mopping a little more frequently) the bar and restaurant were really good, service brilliant and food was fine. The room itself was tired, naff old pine furniture, broken chair sat on a piece of wood to prop it up. Not like the pictures shown in the gallery. We were disturbed by dogs in the room next door that barked constantly when they were left alone (which when you’re trying to get kids to sleep is not helpful) You can see they’ve spent a lot of money on the pool, wedding venue and front of house, just the rooms let it down. But couldn’t ask for better in terms of the staff who were lovely!!

Great hotel
Staff are very friendly, the food was unreal if a little on the small side portion wise. The view from our room was to die for & I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this hotel to anyone

Good - but room for improvement
We had a great time at this hotel. The staff were very helpful and the view is unbeatable. The swimming pool area is also super with great views. I would say the only thing is the room (family room) which was large (great) but needed a fair amount of love. It was basic, which was totally fine for us but needed a new carpet and lick of paint etc. We had a great stay though.
