We really enjoyed our stay and would consider returning. Thank you.

Pros: Staff were very helpful and friendly. Breakfast had a great selection of foods and evening meal was delicious.

Cons: Our rooms were very hot, far too warm and, understandably, windows couldn't be open. Parking wasn't ideal. We were lucky enough to get the last space below the stairs.
