A lovely stay with everything you need to unwind!

Love the pool, love happy hour, staff were so lovely and very helpful! Reception changed my room to ground floor as I was travelling alone with a baba and bags, booked me a cab and suggested I join to spin the wheel which gave me a FREE Ice cream!

Cons:

Having to leave.

Extremely comfortable.
Pros:

That the room was well kitted out and there was a luggage stand. I had a beautiful dinner on Monday 31st August, your restaurant staff, were so lovely and very helpful.

Cons:

I felt the breakfast buffet could have been easier to follow.
That the staff could have asked guests, if they’d like tea or coffee.
One member of staff, seemed quite annoyed I’d come through the wrong door and her comment” I’m sorry I can’t remember everyone’s names, was unnecessary!”
