The staff were A+ , so helpful friendly and lovely, nothing was a problem at all. Even when they are rushed off their feet and dealing with multiple problems. Rooms comfy, breakfast nice. Swimming pool use is a bit clunky having to go back to reception each time for access, but facilities were excellent. Parking slightly complicated.
