Absolutely terrible! Carpets filthy, in need of decorating. Food served cold. In house literature states that the bar is open until 11pm so we rushed back after an evening out to have a drink before bed to be told the bar had closed at 10pm. Vending machine had barely anything in either.

Travellers on the site put us off checking in so we send elsewhere to eat. Rubbish left all over the place and general mess left behind by travellers visiting the site. Beds like trampolines and pillows like pancakes. No opportunity for a decent nights sleep and woke up aching all over from the awful mattress

Heard a lot bad about this place but was genuinely not too bad. Had a two night stay for work and bed was comfortable, room had a TV with Netflix, Youtube etc. Night staff seemed a bit blunt however day staff were lovely. Didn’t get chance to try restraint / bar but the area looked really nice. Only issue is distance from town centre. No taxis were available including uber and the walk is roughly 30 minutes.

Needs managing
Tired old place but was comfortable, room was ok for the price. Food is average and the staff were more interested in the Euro football on TV than the customers. We ate late due to travel and the kitchen staff just wanted watch the football, on arrival the receptionist was sitting in front of the TV, clearly the place has no effective manager.

The WiFi at the property is virtually non-existent and phone signal is terrible, therefore we felt really isolated while staying there. The staff were friendly and chatty and made up for a less than ideal hotel stay. They are a credit to the company
