Stayed here as part of a group of 4 adults and 5 children on B&B basis for a weekend in mid feb 2012. Staff excellent, Breakfast was superb. Swimming Pool small but perfectly adequate for small kids. Rooms spacious and spotless. Couldn't recommend the Hotel highly enough. One small gripe, The barfood menu was limited and could be extended slightly. More
