Staff were friendly and helpful, hotel is in the most beautiful setting and after a day trip around Liverpool we had a leisurely swim in the indoor pool a light meal which we thoroughly enjoyed and a restful nights sleep. The only negative was we didnt stay another night to explore the walks around the hotel which was very scenic, we would definitely stay again and highly recommend.

Room was very clean,staff were very friendly. We booked with breakfast included which worked out at £5 each breakfast.As it was buffet style we could choose what we wanted and the amount we wanted with as much tea/coffee as well. A couple of children in our group absolutely loved the pool and the one child didn't want to go home, I think that says it all
