Rooms could do with a bit of a refresh but mine was perfectly clean and huge. Bed was really comfortable and temperature was comfortable…there was an additional heater if you needed it. Had a mini fridge which was good (ice machine in the corridor). Only odd thing was that there were no plug sockets anywhere around the bed(s) so had to leave phone charging over the other side of the room.

The public areas are lovely. The pool area is dirty looking and very shabby, I’d take flip flops. Rooms are dated and could do with a deep clean. In desperate need of a refurbishment and deep clean. Breakfast was warm and not very appetising.

The room was nice and big, with 2 good size TV's. The lighting was very poor in the room. The bathroom was spacious with an excellent shower. The bed was very comfortable. 2 good sized Seaview windows, both of which needed a good clean. Reception staff were very helpful and the bar area wascvery smart but there was no Sky TV, which they
