This is the first time we have ever stayed at an airport hotel and was a little worried after a very early morning arrival that the kids would get woken up by flights taking off etc, but nothing! The beds were amazingly comfortable, we all slept in as rooms were well sound proofed, breakfast with a beautiful view was amazing. Great way to start our holiday. Can’t wait to come back

Large room with comfortable king size bed. Aeroplane noise is a problem. Ear plugs should be supplied. A blanket as well as a duvet would help overcome “overheating” from a combination of the duvet and air-conditioning. Staff were excellent as was the restaurant facility.
