"The property was very nice with good amenities. The pool and jacuzzi was an excellent facility. However the seam room was only working once during our stay which was a shame. Staff were superb and very helpful however the menu lacked lactose free knowledge and had it not been for the young lady going above and beyond to ask the chef what could be made we would have eaten elsewhere."
