Great stay, but bed too soft
Pros:

Great dinner, enough choice, price just about ok.
Great breakfast (and big)
Great staff
Beer prices acceptable.
Only shame was bed was too soft (and pillows) It was probably a quality, expensive bed but we found it so soft it was difficult to sleep on (which is the reason to stay there!)
Almost felt like head was lower than our feet.
But if you like a soft bed 10/10
The weather wasn't good enough for us to spend time outside, but the facilities were ideal for a sunny day.
