The room included tea making facilities. Fresh towels were in my room daily, it was good. Breakfast had generous portions for the full English. The waitresses in the restaurant were great.
I found the swimming pool towels carried a small non-refundable charge.

The breakfast was acceptable. Nothing too fancy, just standard fare.
The cleaning left something to be desired. I found someone else's sock under the bed. the television was a relic from the past. I couldn't get it to work, and it was ridiculously large for the room.
