Excellent stay. The family room we stayed in was huge !!! Nice little separate area for the kids to sleep in yet still in the same room so we didn’t have to worry about them at the same time as them having a little privacy. Breakfast was delicious and plentiful.

Almost filthy.
The property is located off a main highway. It’s old and needs a serious deep clean. There was food in our wardrobe, the curtains were stained, backs of the doors had something (food?) on them, and there was mould growing on the windows. The reception team was very understanding and comped breakfast, which was appreciated, but sadly I cannot recommend a stay here.
