helpful teamtight car parkdifficult maneuvering
The breakfast team was helpful, and nothing seemed too much for them.
I found that the car park was very tight. Maneuvering was difficult. It made arrival and departure a bit stressful. There should be more space available for the volume of guests.

The outdoor pool was great. I found it to be a nice spot to relax. It was acceptable.
The room I was given was a very small and basic bedroom. There was no milk or biscuits offered in the room along with the tea and coffee. The room service options were limited and finished quite early.
