I booked this room for a staff to take a client for a night of respite. We have used this facility before and he loves it. It’s got swimming and close to the beach and it’s a really friendly environment. It’s got two beds which is perfect for my client and the staff. Every day the reports have been the staff are very helpful and that they’ve had a really great time.

The bathrooms need updating. Poor water pressure from a shower over a bath. Pillows smelt stale. The bed was comfortable enough.
