Lovely rooms, very comfy, the couple I met there for an evening of adult fun loved the shower so we could clean down afterwards and room to throw each other about. It was value for money, breakfast was nice and its close to other places to eat and drink.

After a frustrating day travelling as flight was delayed, we arrived later than planned and were glad to be checked in promptly and booked our table for dinner. Room was so clean and welcoming. Our dinner was delicious and the service was courteous and proffessional, as was breakfast in the morning. Myself and my daughter both agreed that we will stay here again.
