"Staff were all amazing. Friendly, enthusiastic, and made our stay a pleasure. Special call out to Loretta who was cleaning the room, but every single person of the hotel was fabulous. We love the location, and in spite of some difficulties with the internet and the heating system, everyone's reaction to it and friendly response was just incredible. We will 100% be back. "
