This Hotel is an absolute TREASURE! Don't let the photos fool you!! From the lovely lady on reception to the fabulous dinner in the Restaurant next door, everyone was super friendly and helpful. We didn't wander far as everything we needed for a stop over was on the Door step. Our room was in the loft, it was spacious clean and airy. We arrived on Saturday Bingo night... WoW! An experience not to be missed!! We ate in the Italian restaurant on the grounds which served quite possibly the best Italian food outside of Italy.

There was nothing we didn't like.

Good location, accessible to all tourist attractions. Was very comfortable for a family of 5. We availed an extra bed for a very reasonable price and the extra person was already included in the breakfast package. very friendly staff as well.

Our room was directly across the elevator and can be heard at night but was not so bad.
