Easy to find, hard to want to leave.
Pros:

The food was superb and every single member of staff I encountered were extremely polite, helpful and really professional. The pool was great and the breakfast was vast, tasty and plenty to choose from.

Cons:

The noise from the road. I know it’s the location but I think the property could do with triple glazing.
