"Bedroom was very clean. Staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful. The only downside was that the restaurant was not open due to being refurbished and whilst the bar food menu was good, there was a large crowd in on the night we ate there and there were delays and some restrictions on the food. However we understand that this is temporary only and we would return."
