After a day out it was nice to relax for a short time in the pool.We had to go home!!. Pool was freezing when we got into it which spoiled the experience for us. It looked very inviting and should be warm all the time has people go in for a swim at different times during the day.
Hopefully this will be corrected because we would love to come again.maybe could have served evening meal or snacks. parking was a bit tight. The bar/lounge was really small. the breakfast room was a little cramped. The pool was disappointing as it and the jaccuzi need a good clean. There was green slime around the sides of the pool and the jaccuzi was a rather grubby brown colour which were off putting but easily rectified. The bedrooms are not well soundproofed so there can be some disturbance from the use of the whirlpool baths in adjacent rooms. The paper thin walls (and inconsiderate, loud, guests - although that can't be helped), and the small spa bath.My room was above the lounge/bar which made it evening and night times a bit noisy. Room was too warm at night. Parking could prove troublesome for some people.Was too hot with heating on full blast! Would have been good if breakfast was served a bit later.
