The hotel was excellent. Had a great two night stay. Hotel room was amazing Deluxe King. Lovely bathroom, very comfortable bed. The reception staff and bar staff were wonderful. In the restaurant and breakfast rooms the staff especially first thing were not in keeping with the rest of the team, though the food was very good. Loved the curry puffs available at lunch.
