Excellent Food and Attentive Service

spacious room lovely terrace
I greatly enjoyed the spacious room. The games room offered both pool and darts. Staff provided us a breakfast bun to take with us. I found this very considerate. The terrace was a good spot to relax on sunny days.
The rooms seemed to be designed more like holiday lodges than typical hotel rooms. The glass panel in the door had a towel covering it. It was not ideal. I believe updating these small details would greatly improve the guest experience.

tasty buffet plentiful buffet english breakfast
i attended a family birthday party, and the function room was perfect. the buffet was tasty and plentiful, so no one went hungry. the english breakfast included was very good (especially the sausages!). i found the staff pleasant and eager to help.
i noted the absence of clothes hangers in the room. this made it difficult to properly store my clothes. i hope they address this minor inconvenience soon.
