Great facilities, good comfy beds, very warm heating and well supplied cooking facilities. A pool for summer, grounds and a Summer house and a well stocked games room for kids if the weather is bad.

"Fabulous hotel (resort!). Pool is a good size, pool area is relaxing although a bit confusing when the ‘reserved’ notices have been left on from the day time. Peaceful area, quiet. Restaurant- staff are phenomenal (had breakfast and 3 course meal), very attentive. Go down early for breakfast- when not busy the food isn’t turned around very quick so can be a bit dry. "
