Hotel was good, reasonable price. Room (no 27) backed onto kitchen and was a bit noisy early morning and late evening. Restaurant on site did lovely evening meal but was chaotic at breakfast. First morning, they were understaffed and the buffet almost ran out, second morning buffet wasnt available until 8am (despite opening at 6.45am), had to order al la carte which was much more expensive and not great quality.
