We had an amazing stay at the hotel this week! The room was spotless a the staff were so kind. We were also provided with a free breakfast which had many options for hot and cold food. The location at the hotel is great so close to the local town meaning you don’t need to take public transport! I will hopefully be returning and recommending to all!
