Mary
Very Pleased and we would recommend it. It suited all the family. There was everything we needed. We would have liked to stay longer. Tastefully refurbished plus all mod cons. Lots of different levels but it was not difficult to move around. Not suitable for a wheelchair user but our 78 year old was fine and loved it.
Paula
Would definitely rebook if revisiting the area.
