    Good location with free parking outside your room. Fridge and tv. Huge bathroom as we were given a disabled room. The staff let us check in a few hours early which was perfect. Pool was nice. Staff allowed us to leave our suitcases in their accommodation whilst we went kayaking after check out. Basic but clean and manageable as a budget accommodation.
