• Exceptional – Louise from United Kingdom (9/10)

  We visited to celebrate my parents retirement, they had a garden room, we a comfort room, both were spacious, clean and comfortable. The staff were fantastic, you could tell they cared about where they worked. Everything had been thought of, my partner had to leave early for a flight and they printed his boarding pass for him and provided a breakfast tray for him for the early start. We are in the restaurant for two nights, the specials were different for both evenings. All of the food was excellent, we could get plenty of water, can't fault anything. Look forward to a return visit
