"Great accommodation. Location is good and the heated pools are a great bonus. We were surprised that the pool was heated even though it rained all day, we were able to enjoy the spa under the shelter and enjoy watching the rain. Another highlight was the King Studio room we booked had our car park directly outside the room, this allowed us to charge our EV car outside from a portable charger plugged in the room. Would recommend and also plan to be back!"
