The facility is getting a bit dated. The shower head (over the bath) was broken so had to be hand held.

“It was just ok”
Breakfast was included. Big breakfast,basic but no options for anything smaller, eg, toast and spreads, yoghurt. The room was huge but the decor very bland and not much in there to fill it. No smoke detectors. Everything old,worn and tatty. Needs some money spent on it and TLC. Staff very welcoming and friendly.

Breakfast was great. Loved the look of the building very eastern. Loved the garden view and top balcony. Spa bath is always a bonus.

“Disappointed! 7am couldn’t come fast enough.”
I was attracted to the place from reviews and the photos on booking.com, bonus they had a pool. The reception was tidy and the staff were friendly enough. The drive from reception to the accommodation gives you the illusion of tucked away luxury.
