Excellent holiday
Pros:

Everything was excellent from the environment, staff, meals....just excellent. Staff were kind and well trained. We would wish to mention Madam Claire; in her own class, a real asset to the hotel.

Cons:

Maybe ensure that there is a customer service staff at any time. We tried getting in touch on Sunday after 5 PM in vain.

NICE HOTEL DEFINITELY RECOMMEND

The rooms were very nice—clean, comfortable, and well-maintained. The staff were consistently friendly and helpful, which made the stay even more enjoyable. The location was perfect for our needs, with everything we wanted conveniently nearby. Overall, a great experience and I would definitely stay here again.
