Stayed 5 nights

Staff were friendly and helpful, room was spacious and bathroom was clean - nice to have a bath and a shower. Lovely kingsize bed (and very comfy!) No fridge in the room though which was a shame when staying for more than a night or two. Appreciated the free WiFi and decent TV. The downside was the lack of information about room cleaning times over the Christmas period. We stayed for 5 nights/6 days and only got our room cleaned (and bins emptied) twice as we kept “missing” the cleaning window, despite it saying it was between 10am-2pm and we were out the room by 12pm at the latest every day. One day we left the room at 9am specifically to get the room cleaned and returned at 12pm, and in typical fashion they hadn’t reached our room yet on this occasion. Walls were very thin too, we could hear everything in the room next door especially in their bathroom. Woken up at 12am-2am one morning when they decided to have a bath. Woken at 4am one morning by constant banging (woke up the whole floor - we did report this to reception). But staff were keen to help and the bar was absolutely fantastic. We loved having a drink or two in the bar each night and felt we could have been a million miles away. Overall, it did the job and gave us a place to stay over the festive period when visiting family, but further information about holiday cleaning service times would have been appreciated.
