This is the second time we've stayed here and loved it just as much as the first time. Love the tudor vibe that's carried out across the rooms and the restaurant as well. Very fun. The 2 bedroom unit is fantastic, tv in every room as well as warm and spacious. The onsite restaurant is very handy and food was yummy. We will definitely stay here again next time! Thanks

The property was well presented. The room was very comfortable with the heated floors and heat pump already on when we arrived. The set up was amazing for the price. The staff were very helpful and accommodating. The on-site restaurant was amazing. The breakfast buffet had a very good choice of hot and cold choices. The dinnermeals were absolutely delicious. Everything was amazing for the price. We are looking forward to returning there soon.

We were given a one bed room apartment. It was great. They provided a baby cot and that made life easier for us. The toilet was by far the only one with a heated flooring so going to the toilet was not a chore. Loved the architecture and deco of the place. Free tea in the afternoon. That was a nice touch. Mall walking distance from the hotel. We stayed only for a night and it was a great night.
