Large Hotel situated in a great location with convenient access to all national park attractions. Ample car parking and public transport available within easy reach. Accommodation situated on the ground floor is somewhat tired although no complaints regarding cleanliness was offered. Good selection of food and beverages are provided. 2 good nights sleep was had.

Great facilities and very friendly staff at the hotel. Lovely breakfast , a great selection! Main issue was with the cleanliness. When I arrived and checked in, the bathroom smelt awful and I quickly found that it was because the toilet had been left unflushed, I assume from the previous person. To the side of the bed and behind the bed was also super dusty. Other than that though , nice hotel.

Would Stay Again.
We stayed here because it was Dog friendly. Overall, I would say we had an excellent stay. The hotel is true to its description of Dog friendly, although tou can’t eat in the restaurant with them (which is reasonable). There were a lot of families with dogs and they were made very welcome. The bar was also child friendly with toys and games available. The only thing that stopped me giving 5 stars was that one of us is a vegetarian and there were no items available from the tapas menu, which was disappointing and reduced the options available.
