Top service and accommodation

Great service from arrival to departure, all the staff were polite and helpful. Room was spotless and spacious, the bathrobes and slippers were a nice touch. We ate in the restaurant and the food and service was very good. The breakfast was continental style with lots of choice. Would we return?......yes we would.

Lovely hotel , terrible breakfast

Very nice rooms , very spacious , comfortable. Staff were lovely and helpful BUT the bed is a few inches off the floor which is modern and oriental looking but difficult for me because I was carrying a leg injury . Breakfast was terrible . For a hotel that prides itself on its food , (and the dinner we had was excellent) if you’re going to limit guests to a continental breakfast , you have to offer more than Kellogg variety packs, a few slices of processed bread , single flavour cheap yoghurts, croissants that were like cardboard and lukewarm coffee.
