Guest review

10.0

Excellent facilities, we especially loved the pool and the kids pool was perfect for our 18 month old. Every member of staff was super friendly and helpful. We extended our stay to an extra night as we were enjoying it so much!

The manager was so nice and helpful

5.0

The hotel was very quiet and peaceful

Didn’t like that it was only bar food. Breakfast on the last day of our stay was not up to a hotel standard anything you went to get was not there we spent 30 minutes waiting on fry eggs no coffee or tea in the flasks

Noeleen · GB · 2026-07-20

I wouldn't go back

6.0

Swimming pool is big, there were some swimming classes for children which makes the place busier and noisier Hotel is nice Reception girl was nice too

Breakfast was bad, poor, not meeting the standards for a 4 starts hotel, we barely ate because there is no variety and the only fruit was in conserve The room is so hot, not air conditioner
