An enjoyable stay would recommend
Pros:

The location for visiting different areas. Hotel room was lovely it was spacious and clean .Our evening meal in the restaurant was excellent.Lovely lounge to relax in after our meal.

Cons:

It would be nice to have the option of fresh fruit available as an alternative to tinned fruit.The quality of the food for a cooked breakfast was good but could have been hotter( I’m not a fan of buffet style breakfast).

Chambre 74 à éviter
Cons:

À notre arrivée, la chambre double de luxe était froide. Nous avons mis le radiateur au maximum (niveau 6). Le radiateur était brûlant, mais malgré cela, la pièce est restée froide et nous avons eu froid toute la nuit.

Would recommend!
Pros:

Easy location,very clean and friendly staff. Also excellent food.

Cons:

Only very small things,some areas slightly dated in main areas showing some recent renovation done and some maybe not. Then room service menu stated call to order from room phone and one not present so have to use own phone so should just change that on information sheet.
