The breakfast menu was excellent as was the dinner menu. Only problem was that we should have booked a a dinner time before arriving as it was extremely busy on the Saturday and only time left was 7.30 so it was well after 8 pm before we actually ate. The bed was very comfortable but pillows we thought weren’t high quality so spoilt our sleep.

This is a newly renovated hotel. Excellent room, food and staff. I’ll not stay anywhere else for future trips in that area.

Hotel phoned on morning of arrival and asked what type of bed we required (double or twin) we arrived in the afternoon and we were shown to our room and asked if we wanted to book for dinner in the evening as it was busy. Our room was new and had an added bonus of a balcony which was great as the weather was nice enough to sit out. The bed was really comfy, room has tea and coffee facilities and a fridge, the bathroom has toiletries provided and a large walk in shower. There is also a hairdryer in the bedroom. Breakfast at the hotel has a good selection of cereals fruit juices, bread and cooked items.
