A little overpriced for what it is. Mostly friendly and helpful staff. Basic attention to details is lacking. Needs some serious maintenance and refurb in bedrooms.

We chose this hotel based on reviews praising the gluten free food and we were not disappointed. The food is excellent and the choice for coeliacs is great. The rooms are huge and very comfortable. Can’t wait to return
