The staff at the hotel were friendly and helpful. The hotel had a home from home feel, which was great. Breakfast was really good with friendly and accommodating serving staff. Rooms were good and well furnished. The only a thing I would say is the bed mattress could be more supportive but overall a first class hotel with first class staff. I would definitely visit again!

As this room seemed to be a disabled room i found the saftey rail in the shower to be rusty, the air con wasn't at its best & the 2 fans were not much good, although the staff were very welcoming & helpfull, i found the smell from the water outside was rather off putting, the bar was well stocked with good service

Every member of staff were friendly and helpful. The breakfast staff were “on it” clearing tables getting food restocked. Getting drinks. Room was spotless. The swimming pool and sauna not rated at all. This is outside the hotel. Ignore this and I can’t fault the hotel. Looks all modern in breakfast area bar and reception. Would stay again.
