We were really pleased as soon as we walked through the doors. A classy reception, bar and restaurant. Talar on the reception was really pleasant and helpful. Letting us have our room early. Our room was lovely, clean and modern. We were particularly impressed with the large screen TV, iron and ironing board, coffee, comfortable bed and sofa bed and a lovely private bathroom with robes! And slippers. Restaurants all on hand and a Tesco next door. Brilliant Found all staff including cleaners very nice.
