4/10 Fair

I never leave a bad review on anything and I travel fairly often so it has to be quite bad for me to say anything. There was hair EVERYWHERE (no exaggeration, there were probably 30 or more in there and I don't know that it had ever been cleaned) in the drawer under the sink and someone's used toothpaste container. There was a layer of dust on the hair dryer holder that was so thick it can't have been cleaned in years. The hair dryer had no cover anymore so you could just touch the metal and burn yourself. The drive was incredibly unsafe and there wasn't enough room for two cars so you had to keep the windows down to listen for traffic. They would run out of parking at dinner time so people staying couldn't park close to their rooms. It's also far from everything so it's very inconvenient. It won't let me include photos of how disgusting it was but I have them...

Stayed for 4 days very beautiful place to stay, fresh air and friendly staff. Fresh towels everyday. Gym room was good. Pool was nice too. Only gave 4 stars due to noise from other tourists in the hotel, too noisy late at night, when trying to rest. I would stay here again, thankyou.

6/10 Good

Room was old for the price we paid, musty smell and the chairs were dirty. Had a massage which was nice and the girls were lovely, but signage would be good to be able to find it. Dinner was amazing, everything we had was delicious. Breakfast was a let down, ordered omelette but it was really undercooked. Staff were helpful and brought back into kitchen to finish cooking. Always enjoy coming here but the room and breakfast let it down this time. Will def be back for dinner!
