"Stayed for one night in a twin room with my 6 year old son. The room was spacious and comfortable, the staff were very friendly and helpful checking us in. We used the pool which he loved. Breakfast was tasty with a wide choice. Before checking out we had a small walk round the grounds where he was able to run around and explore. We both enjoyed it and hopefully we will get a chance to return soon."

"When we arrived at the hotel it didn't look anything special from the outside. On entering into the small reception we received a very warm welcome and given some local information. We were directed to our room which was very spacious, clean and a nice outlook . The bed was very comfortable although I found the room warm but my husband slept right through the night, which is unusual for him. We opted to have dinner in the hotel and although a bit pricy we were very happy with what we ordered. A very pleasant stay and I would definitely return"
