Don't usually review but the guy at reception (think he said his name was Emmanuel?) was so kind and went out of his way to give us the best service. He is what hospitality is all about and I would come back purely because of how welcome and looked after he made us feel. Thank you! Xx

Little get away

Very nice rooms, lovely small touches like leaving the radio on for when you go into your room. Makes a difference. Only two faults were: only one towel in room and the toilet look brush wasn’t clean. Will happily stay again however.
