Short family stay
Pros:

To start easy to find plus plenty of parking, a short drive into the centre of easy to catch a bus near the hotel.

Hotel is really clean and the room had everything to make a comfortable stay plus more than big enough for all of the guests.

Breakfast was really good buffet style with plenty choices between cooked and continental, we also eat in the restaurant during the evening and all the food was really good no complaints at all.

The pool area (which needed booking) was good plus 1 of the reasons for booking the hotel with a steam room, jacuzzi, sauna plus a smallish pool which can get a bit busy but that would be the only complaints.

Staff were all really friendly and good.

Cons:

None

Pros:

Easy to drive to

Cons:

Service very slow in restaurant- it was very busy but they forgot about us twice then gave us the wrong bill.
Everything sorted when I said. But I had to go find someone each time after waiting a while.
