Barbara, Jan 2018
Pros (+) The amazing view from the room window was my favorite. In addition, the breakfast buffet was good and the activities on offer were suitable for all ages. Staff were friendly and the hotel shop was a lovely addition. Wonderful walks were available very close by. The cafe was perfect for a lunch snack.
Cons (-) The only thing I recommend changing is the bed mattresses. They are too aoft, both my husband and I slept badly and woke up with a sore back.
