“5* relaxation”

Hotel is excellent in almost every aspect, the one downside at the moment is the refurbishment currently taking place but disruption is kept to a minimum with the only effect being a lack of availability of a bar and restaurant and a bit of builders debris, but does little to detract from the overall service provided. Excellent and well trained... More
