The room was a good size, clean, comfortable and pretty modern.
The breakfast was good and not expensive.
The staff were friendly, prompt etc. - all good there.
Our room was round the back, with a great view of a full skip. It also backed onto the function room. There was a wedding on and there was (understandably) a lot of noise. We had to leave the window closed which wasn’t ideal.
Early a.m. there were deliveries etc - unavoidable I suppose but woke us about 5:30am.
Leisure facilities - we used the pool, hot tub and steam room. It’s decent enough but all needs an refresh. Changing facilities just ok. No more.
We went to bar for a snack and one drink after the pool. Quite a few people in relaxing quietly. There was a group of what I’d say were traveller folk making a lot of noise - hard drinking, taking the place over and being a nuisance - very hard to relax. Something should have been said to them by management - people were trying to eat and relax over a couple of drinks - but nothing was said - in fact I don’t think there was too much management in evidence - possibly keeping the head down.
Another note. There are permanent residents at the hotel - they keep a low profile and all seems fine. But just noting it.
