9/10 Wonderful! (579 reviews)

Fantastic venue with very friendly, attentive and efficient staff. My room was huge and well fitted out, with the exception of missing a kettle to make tea in the room. The room had a lovely outlook. The included breakfast was first class with a wide range of options. The onsite bar and restaurant offered high quality food options at a range of prices. Would definitely stay again. Very reasonably priced for the high quality of the experience.
