Spacious upscale room, friendly staff and good food
Pros:

The staff were very friendly and helpful, our family room was very large with lots of space for us all and the beds were comfortable. Breakfast in the morning had a good variety and was very tasty. It was also handy to have the on site parking available.

Cons:

Due to it being pre existing buildings which have been knocked together to form the hotel across multiple houses, there are often stairs between areas, or different levels for the floors which we found a little more difficult to navigate with young children, and could also be a problem if you had any mobility issues.

Pros:

Great atmosphere, nice suite, friendly staff, great restaurant.

Cons:

There was a huge party on friday night which was very loud, it's not the best idea to organize parties in the garden below the rooms...
