10/10 Excellent
"This an excellent resort… great location, good food, lovely staff… always helpful. … and facilities are spot on. However … two things to consider: 1) it is dog friendly, with rules to keep dogs on leads and in a separate part of the restaurant. However, it is not policed, and dog owners consistently had dogs on long leads ( I tripped over a lead!) , or some had no leads. In addition we had a neighbor leaving her barking dog… regularly… in her room. 2) the bathrooms areas are modern, but with inadequate privacy…frosted glass all round and no lock on the door. So .. space for improvement"
