Excellent evening meal options, very clean and great breakfast. My only point to raise was that breakfast didn’t start until 8am, meaning those of us starting work for 9am couldnt enjoy it.

Overnight stay after wedding.

We had a slight issue with the room which was dealt with immediately. We were promptly placed in a new room while they resolved the problem. Staff were friendly and helpful, and Gluten Free options for breakfast were available.
