Comfortable & relaxing with fabulous food.

Food was the highlight. Compliments to the chef….very tasty, creative menus Loads of choice in bar menu and fair prices. Wonderful array of options for breakfast. Room with a view and bath. Plenty towels. Chocolates, welcome card and free drink were super bonus…WELL DONE!….means a lot! Comfy bed, lovely linen. Only negative was the television….is a bit small and there was very intermittent connection, but I only wanted the `News headlines, so it didn’t matter to me. Lovely, friendly and helpful staff.

Beautiful location with a view of the water! Room was big, clean, bed was comfy, and we enjoyed our stay very much. The weather was cool so there wasn't a need but A/C is not in the room. The fan provided was really nice! Highly recommended.

Very comfortable beds and lovely and clean. Bathroom could do with refurbishing, but otherwise the room was great. Staff were very friendly, polite and helpful. Can't praise them enough! Breakfast was good and the food in the bar was excellent. Having access to the pool and leisure facilities was a treat.
