We read a few reviews and admittedly were a little worried over about 5 bad reviews so decided not to have any expectations. Well whoever did those bad reviews were I believe isolated cases. From start to finish everything was done for us and very organised (in a good way) We couldnt fault the long coach journey, the drivers, service... More

“Nothing special”

Reviewed May 7, 2013

the hotel was what I would class as basic, a bit grubby in places, but the food was adequate for the price paid. The waiting staff were very pleasant but the same was not to be said for reception who seemed to want to deal with you as quick as possible and on one occasion sat there on the computer... More

“Poor”

We received this coach holiday for a gift and all I can say is poor poor poor! Expensive drinks ,dirty hotel lousy waiter service and everyone had diarrhoea and vomiting so made it really unpleasant. The only joy was the night porter ( what a gem) apart from that will never return again!!!!'
