We have always loved the Martello but on our last visit both the manager and receptionist were very ignorant to us. We have been coming here for years now but that experience really put us off. So one year on we decided to give it another go and I’m glad we did. Obviously the staff are much nicer now and the refurb really has done wonders to the place.
