"Nice buffet. Very accommodating staff."

"A lovely hotel in a great location. Staff were really friendly and welcoming, service was great. My only negative was the size of our room (we had room 9) which was quite small. I’ve since realised the hotel does have larger rooms so if you’re looking for a bit more space make sure you pick one of the other rooms. "
