The room was very clean although perhaps small for 3 adults. Reception staff were very helpful. Our room had been made up for 2 people despite the booking being for 3 but staff offered to change the room (which we declined) and within minutes the bedding we needed had been brought to the room. The food in the restaurant was delicious and reasonably priced to say we were a captive audience and breakfast was good quality with plenty of choice. All in all we would definitely stay again.
