The room was very nice but would have been helpful if bathroom had a lock. The room service could be more better they didn’t understand English much and one time the lady refused to give glasses as her work time had ended which was quite ridiculous. Otherwise everything else was nice just the room service needs alot of improvement. Thanks

Rooms were great. Bar and restaurant staff not so great. Understand they have to comply with rules but with children and attending for a funeral. Not very family friendly. Or very understanding. Service should also be with a smile. Was very difficult to see this too. Just need to be more empathetic to the guests. Sad as use to be one of our favourites! prefer the vocco. Reception were great and helpful.

Me and my partner stayed for the weekend and we haven’t got one complaint, the room, hotel and the view was amazing. Everything was so clean and the customer service was outstanding and helpful. They also had a great bar with loads of choices or drinks and a lounge area, it’s a great place to stay and have a relaxing time away. So happy with our stay and will definitely be going back!
