10/10 Excellent
"Really enjoyed my stay. The room was lovely and I made use of the indoor gym which was small but well kitted out. The breakfast selection was good including dairy free options. I also had buffet dinner in the main dining room which was good but as I don’t eat meat, I think it lacked options with veg or fish."
