Wonderful Staff and Comfy Beds!

comfortable bedfriendly staffefficient stafffull car park
The beds were VERY comfortable, and i slept well. Daily room service was excellent, and all staff were friendly. I found the staff efficient and hardworking, nothing was too much trouble for them. I will definitely be back again.
The car park was full when i arrived, so there was no space. The ev station is placed in a spot that blocks other cars. Getting out of the car was difficult due to the wall and the need for lateral parking.
