The room was impeccably clean and very well appointed. Colin at admin was very freindly and helpful. And the breakfast was Amazing very fresh and tasty
excellent. note we had breakfast included, and a higher level room with balcoany for this review. Very good presentation of property. Often at 40yrs they are let go and are a shadow of former glory, but not here. Pool was great. Dinner very good. Breakfast good (although coffee a big let-down). The bathroom and room great. Games provided.
Also note when we were there, it was quite under-populated by travellers, and tariff was relatively low. I imagine the pool could be awful in school holidays etc, full of 'orrible children, so bear that in mind, but all in all, a grteat experience for price. I would def return (but maybe only in off-season times)
