The place was wonderful and in a great location. The staff were very friendly and had great communication. I booked the stay for my parents as it was my Mum’s 70th. They gave my Mum a bottle of wine with a note to say Happy 70th Birthday, which she found very sweet. Thank you, would definitely book again!
