"Excellent value for money, great staff"

9.0

The staff were all friendly and helpful. I had been contacted in advance as there was no food available in the evening and they were checking it was still ok for me. On arrival, they gave me useful information about where and when to go to eat. The room was at a comfortable temperature and was exceptionally clean.

Nothing - they have no control over the awful weather 😂

Breakfast good choice and well done.

We prefer fresh coffee. As for dinner on day of arrival, we were told to have dinner immediately at 6pm, and to choose within 5 mins. We were not able to book at 7.00pm despite no one else arriving at that time.No explanation or apology
