I had a pleasant stay at the hotel, which offered a free room upgrade that made my experience even better. The facilities include a decent swimming pool and a family-friendly atmosphere, perfect for traveling with kids. While the breakfast was okay and the dining options at the pub could use improvement, the overall value for money and staff service made it a worthwhile trip. However, the outdated room decor and limited spa facilities left something to be desired.
