"The room was comfortable and clean. Lovely Stay"
Overall Score5.0/ 5
The room was comfortable and clean. I brought my three daughters and their young daughters to the hotel for a girl's weekend. My grand daughters are well behaved but they are only 8 (2 of them) and 5. This is a very adult hotel. With that said, the children were treated royally, as we all were. The staff could not have been better. They made sure we had rooms next to each other. They engaged with the children. Dinner was perfect including sparklers on dessert for the kids. We swam in the lovely pool and followed that with teatime. My family wants to make this an annual event. It was a perfect 24hrs!
