"The room was clean and the grounds and pool were also. Staff were very good indeed. The Breakfast was a full cooked breakfast and cereals etc, and the staff were excellent. The restaurant was spotless. The only thing that could do with some attention is the lack of silly things like the bath tap coming out of the wall was loose and the shower wasn’t the best . Hard to beat this Hotel"
