Excellent, we'll be back
Pros:

Bedrooms were spacious, clean and very comfortable. The food is excellent, great value breakfast and dinner was delicious. Staff as very helpful and accommodating and the leisure facilities were brilliant.

Cons:

The room was a little bit dark and the lighting wasn't great. It operates a health club on site so there are some limits on when kids and families can be in the pool, not a big deal but something to be aware of.
