This was the first time we had booked this hotel and from start to finish we found the staff, happy, helpful and always doing their best for you. Rooms were spotlessly clean, great housekeeping.

The hotel is a reasonable standard, clean and tidy, we had breakfast which is okay but a bit repetative, plenty to eat,... More
