"Great breakfast buffet included. Lovely staff and the rooms were spacious with a lot of storage, good bed and the bathroom was a good size, nice shower too. Few niggles were the hotel is now showing signs of wear and tear, the odd marks in the carpet, walls etc. The bathroom needs a closer mirror as it's very far away to see properly. The biggest issue is the lifts, you have 2 lifts for all guests to use which sometimes meant long waits for a lift to come. Pool looked lovely but we didn't...
