Fabulous

A great stay...excellent location. Lovely and clean and attention to detail. The breakfast was fabulous..lots of choice for all diets. The staff were really nice, friendly and professional. The beds were comfy too and great showers. The only thing i didnt especially like was the dark painted room! But maybe as i chose a quiet back room it felt dark. Though the sun came through in the mirnings!,
