Returning at 10.30 pm there was no available parking due to an outside booking. Excellent reception staff ,- especially the one who moved her car to provide a space for me. Floors not hoovered, faux leather chair split, paint peeling from ceiling, hairs in bath and on tiles.

Excellent venue for family reunion
Excellent faciliities. We enjoyed having the swimming pool. The bedroom and bathroom was comfortable and spotlessly clean. Staff were very helpful, both on Reception and in the breakfast area. The breakfast menu was great . Car parking was sufficient. There was no traffic noise and the grounds were attractive and well kept.
