The staff were excellent and couldn't be faulted. Our only issue and it is a completely personal one was how soft the bed was and the use of loose fitting as opposed to fitted sheets. This we found a little difficult to get use to but apart from that we could not fault the facility or its staff. We would and have certainly recommended...
