The staff were rude. I was put in the wrong dorm, was moved and was still in the wrong dorm. Never any apologies. I just had to put up with it. The facilities were fine, clean and comfortable and the location was good too. However there was no atmosphere or social scene, apart from the 100 10 year olds on school camp. Wouldn’t stay here again, nor recommend. Extremely disappointed.
