Good quality room and facilities, friendly efficient staff and a great restaurant and bar.
Pros:

Great location and well equipped, modern facilities.Good to have a restaurant and bar on site, and outside seating to watch the sun go down. We appreciated the cupboard with kettle etc.

Cons:

No windows to open at night - only a sliding door - we were on the ground floor and didn’t know if it was safe to leave this open. The room was very stuffy.
