Room was good. Mattrass was a bit hard for my liking, but clean. Shower was great. Bathroom spotless. Food great. Staff great. The only downfall was some wally who was talking to his female friend until after 3am. Both were loud and the doors opened and banged for hours. When in the room, i could hear them through the walls

We were greeted to find that we had been upgraded to a two-bed suite at no extra cost. This was due to the fact that we had our granddaughter with us and there was availability. It was immaculate, the food was great, the bar area was comfortable. The staff couldn't do enough for us. Well recommended !
