Great friendly staff, nice touch for the kids... they were given a voucher ea to to choose beteen, a cold drink, a hot choc with marshmallowsor an ice-cream from the bar. Slso free fizzy drinks, crisps and kitkats in the mini-fridge in tge room were nice touches. The only downer for the hotel as a whole was that there was no air-conditioning in the bedroom or the bar area and so the environment was fairly hot and stuffy.

Lovely large car park upon arrival, very grateful! Met by very pleasant and friendly hotel staff. The room was very clean and comfortable. Everything I needed was there, any questions I had were answered quickly by the staff in a friendly manner. I was out for the evening and was greeted warmly by the reception staff upon my return, asking if I had had an enjoyable evening. This was lovely. Self serve breakfast in the morning was served in the restaurant which was spotless. The food was plentiful and hot. Plenty of tea, coffee and fruit juices. A lovely relaxed stay and would highly recommend. Very good value for money.
