Staff were so friendly and the room was large and clean with very comfortable beds. We ate at the restaurant and the food was great. Special thanks to the lady on reception who then went to work in the reception in the evening (sorry forgot her name) she was so nice and made us feel very welcome. We recommend and wouldn’t hesitate to return.

The room was clean, check in was easy and quick as we did it online. We liked the idea of the kitchen being hidden behind a door, but the fridge was very tiny and didn't hold alot. Our room was close to the restaurant, but you couldn't hear the music which was good.
