We only stayed for one night but were very happy with our stay. Staff were helpful, friendly and courteous and our room was clean and comfortable. We thoroughly enjoyed the buffet breakfast that was part of our accommodation package as it enabled us to be up early, fed and continue on our holiday journey.

All the staff were excellent, breakfast was Good. It was so noisy, the room was so hot, we couldn't sleep. People going to Macdonald's so early in the morning was also noisy. I thought it was very expensive £133 for a night and breakfast, but the staff made the stay worthwhile.

Very welcoming check in, and very willing to help make us even more comfortable with our stay. They are a dig friendly Hotel, and although we don’t dislike dogs, we asked to be moved in case we were woken by barking pets, and there was no problem at all. The rooms are clean and comfortable and we had a great nights sleep
