The bathroom was great with a big bath and shower that had good pressure. Nice toiletries to use and warm fluffy towels. We really enjoyed the pool and spa too. I personally felt that the rooms in the new building were nicer. They were definitely bigger with a garden view too. We stayed in room 16 which was fab!
