Good hotel for weekend stay.

Hotel is surprisingly big and very nice. Especially entrance reception area. Room wee bit used but clean. Pool busy need more attention for cleaning. Just one sauna was working that night.

Excellent hotel 10/10

Excellent hotel. Very good service. Massive room and very comfortable beds. Very friendly receptionists. The TV in the room was massive. Short walk to the local amenities. Our room had a spacious patio. The lobby area where you sit down was like a little library very quirky with all the books and very luxurious comfy sofas. I walked past the bar area and it looked pretty trendy and plenty of people in it. Very big hotel over all. Highly recommended for anyone to stay here and very reasonably priced

Big rooom. Clean and cute. The bar looked adorable. Super nice staff (lady from nyc) would totally come again. It was so nice to stay in a jcie hotel after some sketch air bnbs. Just book this hotel if you are on the fence. Not too far of a drive from the cliffs, stopped at some castles on the way and stooped by a cute little town for sunset and dinner after the cliffs
