Great family stay

Really pleasant stay on the way home from holiday. The room was massive and great for a full family stay. With two king size beds and a single bed. The pool was nice for a little relax after being in the car all day but be warned you have to book slot, luckily some one did not show up to there’s or the kids would have been disappointed as the only ones available when we arrived was 20:00, so book early. Would stay again.
