Brilliant stay. The spa is lovely and not too crowded. Courtney, Sara and Mia in the restaurant were amazing, a credit to the hotel. The two lads on the bar Caleb and Liam had great conversational skills and hard work ethic. Will definitely be coming back!

Coach Party well received

As part of a coach party we were treated excellently despite the hotel catering for several marriage and business events. The head waiter and a lovely slim waitress in particular made the party very welcome. The ground floor room was spacious with good walk in shower.
