"Excellent stay all round.
Loved this hotel, the location and the staff.
The breakfast was great and the spa facilities exceptional.
Highly recommended - I can’t wait to return! "
"The staff were very welcoming and the hotel has recently been refurbished. It was our third time here and the improvements they have made since our first visit in 2010 are very noticeable and have brought the hotel up to a much higher standard."
