Unfortunately the tv did not work, so they happily moved me. I can not fault my stay, staff were fantastic in all areas, the best pillows ever !!!! (I stay away a lot) pillows are never very good. Food was also exceptional, great range of choices. Breakfast was HOT ! And delicious. Booked for following week.

The food was great with well seasoned peppercorn beef and honey glazed gammon. The service was polite making sure to check if we had allergies at each point of service and ordering. There was great service by Nieve who was very friendly. The atmosphere is very calm and relaxed

I feel like you have really upped your game. Room was lovely and clean (apart from some stray kids toys under the bed) beds were comfortable. A few points however, we booked a family room for three of us but there was only cups and glasses for two. There wasn't enough sugar and the hallway light shone under the door. These are really small points and wouldn't stop us staying again.

Great room, nicely situated next to a range of useful eating places. Really warm welcome from the reception staff, despite us arriving very late... nothing too much trouble. Comfortable beds, clean room with ample storage space, nice big towels, choice of lighting options, decent bathroom and plenty of on site parking. Would recommend 5
