Amazing will be back to visits when across from Scotland
Pros:

Nice and accessible, clean and tidy, the decor makes the hotel look up market and the staff are absolutely brilliant and very polite and friendly. Chef is very cheery and will greet guests if he is out in the dining area at the buffet and he is out putting more food out and it’s great to hear the kitchen staff listen to music and interact
