"The swimming pool was good, especially after a day of walking. The rooms were clean, modern, and bright. The only downside is the shower, it needs a good layer of bleach to clean the mould in the tiles, this would really spruce up the bathroom, and give it a nice hotel feel. Staff at the restaurant were all very nice, the ground floor staff needs more local insight of things to do when asked. "
