A fun filled family weekend!
Pros:

Lovely food, excellent breakfast in particular. Very friendly reception staff. Great things to do for kids!

Cons:

We stayed for two nights and our room wasn’t serviced even though we were out all day. It was a pity because we had a family of four and it would have been nice if the place was freshened up and we needed more shampoo, tea, milk, water etc.
