shower moldloose handle

the room i stayed in was definitely showing its age. the shower had mold on the silicone, and the handle was loose. the television didn't function correctly, and the wardrobe door kept falling open. everything felt a bit run-down, quite disappointing given the overall reputation.

The staff were EXTREMELY helpful. They were professional. Ian, Kenny and Margaret deserve special mention. The location had delicious food, I enjoyed every meal.

The shower's water temperature fluctuated. It was slightly annoying. I hope they fix it soon. The room was otherwise lovely.

mixed experience.

good water pressurefried food smellcramped room

the shower had good pressure and hot water.

The room felt cramped. we could barely open the window because it faced the kitchen exhaust. this meant a constant smell of fried food entered the room, particularly in the evenings after the kitchen closed. Midges also became a problem then. Consider paying extra for a larger room at the hotel.
