This hotel stay was one of the best I've ever had as their 2 bedroom suite was a bonus for privacy between us and our daughter. Breakfast was superb but only downside is their evening meals were expensive but overall a wonderful stay. Would highly recommend

A lovely place to stay, the staff was very polite and helpful. The place was clean and tidy. The breakfast was good too. Sadly the room I stayed in had such low water pressure it took ages to have a shower.

My brother and I had a great stay, for a couple of nights after booking two, of their double bedded rooms, which are actually suitable for one person. The free breakfasts which are included in the price, were both delicious and of ample portions. The staff were very friendly and accommodating. We enjoyed the bar atmosphere in the evenings. We were both very impressed with the whole set up. Not forgetting, that the price was very good as well. We would definitely stay there again.
