They have a gym room and swimming pool. They also got breakfast and dinner buffets and individual dishes to be ordered. They have a bar area serving sandwiches and cakes with tea and coffee in daytime after 11am. They are highly recommended for families with kids and elderly.

The bathroom layout wasn’t very user friendly. The bin nowhere near the toilet and the toilet paper around a corner. There wasn’t towels for two despite being a double room and no mat for the floor. There were stains on the wall of the bathroom also.
