Breakfast was good selection, but no mugs. Asked once and they had already been taken by other guests before we could get one.
Cold drinks were very disappointing.
Kids pool was great with jacuzzi, steam room and sauna - amazing bonus.
Evening food was fab. Kids eat free, this should be advertised more.
Room was what it was described as and clean, tidy and comfortable. Would be nice if kids bedroom area was in a seperate area.

Amazing hotel with great spa facilities, friendly and attentive staff. The room was spacious enough for two adults and two children plus one dog. We ate an evening meal in the restaurant as we were on a dinner but in breakfast wait the staff again were great with brilliant gluten-free options on the menu.
