The hotel is rated a 2 star, but really deserves a 3. Rooms were a bit dated but kept immaculately clean throughout my... More

We were impressed with the hotel on arrival, until we entered our room, there was no heating and it was freezing cold and damp. On complaining at reception and explaining that we were both recovering from eight weeks of illness we were promised a heater in the room until the heating was repaired next day. We enjoyed our evening meal... More

This is our 2nd trip to this hotel and in our opinion is exactly the same as last year., FANTASTIC. The staff, entertainment, cleanliness, the atmosphere, and service. All hotels should be run like this and other hoteliers would be well advised to take a leaf out of this hotels book. Yes we shall be back again next year.
