The location was great and the staff were very friendly. The one major problem for me was in the bathroom. I have physical limitations and the bathtub was so huge it was difficult to get into. The single grab bar was very badly placed and there was nothing else to hold on to. As a result, I had to shower sitting in the stool provided.

Great hotel and staff! We were welcomed by very friendly staff and offered Prosecco and juice upon arrival at reception. The room was clean and very spacious (double room with balcony and hot tub).There was also a complimentary bottle of bubbly in an ice bucket in the room and some sweet treats. We had already made the hotel aware that one of us was coeliac and the head chef met us each morning to take the order for breakfast. This included freshly made omelettes, pancakes with bacon, gluten free bread, muffins and pastries. The regular buffet breakfast was incredibly vast, fresh and very tasty. All tastes were catered for. We made use of the pool, sauna and spa facilities and would highly recommend a head, neck, shoulder and back massage. The staff throughout were very friendly and could not have done more. We wouldn’t hesitate returning to this hotel.
