the rooms were super clean. staff at reception, in the shop, and during breakfast were very lovely, they were so kind! the indoor and outdoor pools offered such a nice variety.
i had to pay £10 for parking because i booked through expedia. the corridors to the rooms were quite dated, and the carpet showed dirt in MANY places. the hotel is up on a hill, and it was a bit TOO much for me
