The location is perfect and of course the parking a real bonus. The beds, bedding, towels etc all good quality. The heating is very effective and there was plenty of hot water. The heating instructions for the lounge donât work, but I googled it and manage to override it when necessary. The main oven was temperamental, it didnât always heat up despite the clock being set. We reported this in October â23 and it still hadnât been sorted. The toaster could do with an update too. Also the tv in the lounge is a right pain if you are trying to watch ordinary tv, we were forever moving that silly aerial around. On the whole though Rock Pool is very comfortable and we will come back.
