Stayed overnight after returning from France/Guernsey on Condor Ferry. Couldn't have been better looked after in top rate accommodation. Dining room and bar are spectacular with excellent choice and careful service.

After visiting the accommodation and making myself at home in the large, spacious and bright rooms, a few of us visited the bar and got stuck into... More
