"Staff were very friendly. The property was always clean and tidy. Fantastic to have a room freshen every few days. Bar service earlier than 4 pm for the guests would be great, especially when they are lounging around the pool Parking was an issue due to the building works. Workers or visitors to the bar took the few spots available, leaving guests to park down the road."
