"What a good hotel. Every member of staff we interacted with was friendly and helpful - from reception staff, to greeters at the restaurant, to the cleaning staff. It almost seemed that they were genuinely glad that we had chosen their hotel. The location was ideal for us. The buffet breakfast suited us perfectly with plenty of space for seating and well laid out food. We really liked this hotel."

"We selected this accommodation due to it being the cheapest at the time. Well it was fantastic, the communication from booking to checking in was amazing especially as we needed a very late check in (2am) The room itself was great, clean and well equipped. The staff serviced the room each day and refilled the tea and milk which was brilliant. Beda were comfortable and the shower excellent. The swimming pool is lovely and the staff couldn't be more friendly and helpful. We didn't eat in the restaurant but I'm sure we'll be back and we will next time."
