Few issues with the room - tv didn’t work upon arrival and we were travelling with children , the room was really dirty and had an asthma flare up - i had to keep asking reception to help without them doing a lot. they had run out of hypo-allergenic pillows and had to ask a couple of times - i also requested the room to be cleaned and it wasn’t. i wouldn’t recommend for anyone with allergies or asthma as no ventilation in the rooms. overall the hotel was nice and good choice at breakfast which is served till 11 at weekends and there is a late checkout of 12 which was excellent. the pool was cold but the facilities were nice
