Stay was very good and the area is lovely - been going here for years
Pros:

Facilities overall were very good but the beds are very hard - staff very friendly

Cons:

Beds could have been more comfy and their was no tea/coffee facilities in the room which is very unusual as most places have now - that was a disappointment
