6.0 / 10.0Average·Jul 2025
Shame there is no intern contact pr tlf especially for booking as there is no network conection for phones. We tried to book the spa/pool on various occasions and finally managed to get in the day before our departure. Car park spaces were to small my son' hire car was dented by the white car from the flat next door, but they refused all claims. Location was fine as im from Gloucester originally. The local inhabitants were till times a pain for as soon as they heard ppl on the terrace, they thought there was a chance of food. Otherwise good accommodation and equipment .
