Excellent hotel service

The site is a management training facility that also offers a hotel service. We had a nice en suite room that contained all the essentials you would expect at a hotel. The breakfast service is superb.

Good price and staff helpful. Uncomfortable bed/pillows, noisy bathroom fan and basic room. Breakfast awful - food had obviously been cooked a while ago. Mostly lukewarm overcooked sausages.
