Very nice stay staff could not be more helpful and pleasant. Room was very big with extras that made the stay even better. Bath robes, magazines and umbrella these extra made it feel like a personal touch, the coffee and tea making facilities in the room very good. Herbal tea bags would have been nice but that’s just a personal preference. We will definitely be booking to stay again.
