    Expedia Verified Review
    5 / 5 Excellent
    Was a fantastic place to stay. Maybe a little hard to find tucked away in the park..we used sat nav. Was a little disappointed that we got breakfast boxes not a proper serviced breakfast but it was good. Lots of short flights of stairs so if you can’t manage them ask for a room that avoids them.
