The suite is in need of some refurbishment, furniture a little tired and decor needs updating, however it was large, spacious and had everything we needed.

“Short Break”

Recently visited here with my Uncle. Pleasant enough stay, the only downside being the millettmetres of dust on the skirting board. The entertainment is good, the best night being the Sunday when a magic show was on.

Just had a short stay here, found the place to be very well kept with good facilities and nice professional staff, nice relaxed atmosphere due to the fact that the clientele were mostly mature couples with a few young families, would definitely recommend.
