Room was large and spacious with the kitchen inclusions being the best I've stayed in.
Room was clean and much larger than anticipated, they have really put thought into what to include. Right down to the clothes airer, perfect for hanging towels and swimmers after a swim at the beach or pool.

Everything we needed away from home! Clean, comfortable units with updated furnishings. The beds, pillows and blankets were the best we've had while on holidays at hotels. Reception was very welcoming and we would definitely stay again, thank you Smugglers.
