The title resort is hardly warranted.
Disappointing lack of equipment in room, had a toaster and jug but no cutlery at all - not even a teaspoon to stir the tea/coffee. Bathroom was tired with some cracked tiles but clean. Only two hard chairs. Beds on the other hand were comfortable.

The accommodation and the location suited our needs and there was plenty of parking out the front. We ate several meals at the restaurant and the food was most enjoyable.

It is dated but it is comfortable.
the only downside is not the right cutlery or glasses to drink out of in the room.
Had dinner the first night at the onsite restaurant food was good, however then I could not have the left overs later when I was hungry because no cutlery in the room.
A chair on the balcony would be nice as well.
Overall good though right price good location.

All was good but the tennis equipment we had borrowed and left in our room when we went out for dinner was taken back from the room without informing us. I would have appreciated if they would have rung us before.
