Hello The room was spacious and comfortable. My wife particularly appreciated the glutten free selection available at breakfast. The hotel was well cited for exploring the local attractions. The room was not visited by the cleaners on one morning so we had to take some time out to get the waste bin emptied and replacement tea and milk. Overall thou' a pleasant stay

I Loved the property as a whole, and the great price compared to other hotels in the area. I didn't like the Sofa Bed, the mattess was too thin, and had to.ise towels so kids are not hurt. Service wasn't great, no concierge staff, they are always in the back or doing 6 other jobs, not enough staff to serve the cusromers needs. One concierge was serving drinks at the bar next to the desk, while also being a concierge. Absolutely crazy, felt sorry for the staff.

Overall great value for money however booked for 2 adults and 2 children only 3 towels in the room and 2 cups so had to ask for more. Also remote wasn’t working and wasn’t given a replacement even though raised issue to reception. Not great when travelling with 2 kids. Sofabed not comfy. Main bed very comfy & breakfast delicious.
