I thought the hotel would be clean but basic but it passed my expectations. The grounds were well kept, plenty of seating
too. The car park was a bonus. The staff were efficient, helpful and friendly. Food was excellent with fantastic choice
- something for everyone.
There also appeared to be plenty of facilities for disabled persons.
