The members of staff were all very helpful and friendly. We enjoyed our evening meals and drinks! The breakfast was not good value for us. We don't have a full English and the choice outside of that e.g.avocado, bowls of yoghurt with prepared fresh fruits were not available, fresh fruit juice would also have enhanced the breakfast. Aside from that we really enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend it.
