The bedroom was clean and comfortable. It had lots of power points and a nifty bedside reading light. The bathroom was a little tired but not a problem. |The standard of food was excellent. Lots of choice and very fair prices. The staff were all friendly and helpful. We will go again.

Generally good.The accommodation was fine but the hotel could do with some updating. Service was OK too but there were some oddities with paying for everything up front (we couldn't charge anything to the room). The heated outdoor pool was a bonus (although as with the rest of the hotel, its glory days are over and needs refreshing).

Went for Sunday lunch. Roast dinner with a free dessert for £14.95!Food was very good, service a bit slow (took over 20 mins for our drinks to arrive) Main course arrived pretty quickly but dessert took almost half an hour! Maitre D was running around like a headless chicken but 4 or 5 younger staff just standing around. Odd. Still, overall a nice meal. Decor dated but everything was clean.
