The moment you walked into thenproperty you were greeted with a lovely warm welcome. Checking in was so easy and they explained everything so well. The room was very clean and well appointed. Had all toiletries and you can also get extra from reception. Breakfast was basic but had both hot and cold food. Certainly enough to start your day. We would definitely stay there again.
