Loved our stay here. Rooms spotless and comfy beds. Breakfast was an excellent but the bar food menu was a bit disappointing as we stayed 2 nights and the menu didn’t change and the choice was fairly limited. If we had been staying another night we would have eaten elsewhere

I was here with my kids. They had a great time. It’s a great family hotel. It was very busy. The food was good, I would avoid the nachos. Service was very friendly but sometimes a little scattered. Particularly at breakfast in the morning

10/10 Exceptional

Beautiful hotel in beautiful surroundings. Spotless clean throughout. Staff are lovely and extremely helpful. Had a issue with our room when we booked in but it was sorted out quickly by the lovely General Manager James and his staff. Food very good. Would highly recommend. Would advise ringing the hotel before you book if you require an accessible/Wheelchair user room and required number of beds in the room. They have a few. We stayed in a room on the second floor near the spa, while its a fairly accessible room (Still work to be done) it is a very, very long distance from hotel. bar, restaurant and breakfast room. Too far for a person with a disability or anyone using walking aids, crutches ect. Overall had a very pleasant stay and will return in the future
