Stayed her prior and it was great so booked again. Spa was not working! Loud guests slamming doors all day and night long. Huge gap under door had to use towels to cover so no one could get in. Found things of previous guests still in there. Not a good visit at all

The beds were horribly uncomfortable. The free breakfast was a joke. Got down there to eat and the gravy in the crockpot was cold. We were going to just microwave it instead but the microwave didn't work. There was a sign hung up on the wall stating where the fuse box was located and what fuse to turn back on. I couldn't find this fuse box. Another couple was there and went and got staff and he came out but had no idea how to fix it. We ended up having to go to another place to get breakfast. We chose this place due to the convince of breakfast, so that was pointless.
