Enjoyed my stay only thing that was terrible was the shower. After a long hard day I wanted a nice shower but the pressure of the shower was very weak and it would go really hot for couple seconds then back to normal temperature

Room was nice and tidy, could do with a fan/air circulation in the bathroom. My boys enjoyed their swim while there. TV in the room should have been more in the middle maybe attached to the wall on a bracket. Not much to watch on TV due to not many channels to access. But overall very nice, comfortable and friendly staff.

This is a really nice place but let down badly by the initial bedroom temp.. it was freezing! Hotel supplied a 2 bar fan heater… it took 4 hrs to bring room up to a comfortable temp.
Mussel entree was a dried up mess. Beer battered main not much better. Breakfast was excellent
