Always reliable high standards
Pros:

We were in the area visiting family for ten nights and, without hesitation, booked this hotel as we have been before and know the facilities, food and staff are excellent. Mike on the bar made our last night as he was extremely kind to our boisterous boys when we ate there and found them activities and treats which went down extremely well with them! We will be back
