The only other thing was that the internet access was absolutely terrible. Other than that, it was amazing, staff were lovely, place was clean, location was great. It was a wonderful stay and we will be back for sure!

Good size room in great location. Great basic accomodation for family trip. Was clean. They made minor error with towelling, but easily rectified. We stayed middle of winter - heating in room just wasn’t doing the job. If you stood right under it, it was blowing warm air, but it just didn’t heat the room. Was good value for the price
