Disliked: Room comfort
The beds are too small, the mattresses too soft and the room was uncomfortably warm despite the heating being off. Breakfast was decidedly average. The bacon on the breakfast was incredibly hard, when i requested fresh bacon what they brought out was exactly the same. How hard is it to cook bacon??

Summer stay
The room was okay and the view was lovely, but the decor and spa were outdated. Check in was easy and hotel is in a good location. Carpark was full so had to park on the street. Dogs were allowed to stay and during our stay someone left their dog in the room howling and woke us up. Someone also brought their dog to the pool area which was strange and wasn't told otherwise. We had loud neighbours slamming their doors at 6:30 am and kids running about. I think the hotel would be better with a quieter area for couples.
