Well thats the excuse ive told my OH, its really because i want to be close to the bakery near abalone


We've stayed in the abalone once before, it was an ok hotel, only used it to sleep.
The only thing that put me off was the little pool wasnt a pool. I could live with that, but it had stagnant water in, and was a magnet to insects.
We had to move rooms because when we went my son was 6 months old and we were directly above it

Does anyone know if its still like that? if it is we wont be going back, but the staff were lovely.
Renton manor is only an extra 100pounds for all of us, so about 30pounds more each.
That seems like a nice hotel, had a meal there once, but you dont get much sun during the day at the pool area.
hmm, choices.
