Lovely Stay

Lovely room, spacious, light and modern. It was very clean with a comfortable king size bed and en suite shower. Check-in at the bar was quick and easy. We ate in the bar that evening and had breakfast there the next day. I thought the food was rather expensive and a bit underwhelming, but my husband enjoyed the food. I would definitely stay there again but, maybe, find somewhere else to eat. The staff were very friendly and helpful.

Nice spacious room as the photos showed, staff were friendly but busy. Car parking was an issue I specifically booked a place with parking but it was difficult to find and not clear in the instructions before hand. That’s the only real point I have everything else was as I expected thank you.
