Our stay was fabulous, Your Staff are INCREDIBLE. Thank You for everything
Pros:

The staff were amazing, very friendly and helpful
The breakfast was fantastic and catered for any and everybody
The rooms were always clean and comfortable and stocked with everything we needed and didn't.

Cons:

There are only 2 things, and both can easily be fixed
The showers mess water all over the floor as the shower head is not meant for such a small shower. Nearly slipped as I didn't notice the spill.
REPLACE THE CUSHIONS PLEASE they are old and lumpy.

Expensive for what it is .Needs a serious upgrade .
Pros:

Nothing really

Cons:

The rooms are very dated ,with very old bathrooms .Taps dont work properly and the hot water runs out quickly .The bed is very uncomfortable and old and small for two people .You keep rolling to the middle as its sunken in .We did request a change in mattress after the first night ,but nothing was done .The breakfast was also nothing to write home about especially if you are not a meat eater ,or prefer healthier options .
