Restaurant and breakfast food all amazing, cater for all dietary requirements with a varied range. Great facilities, we enjoyed the pool/sauna/steam room, gym and playing pool. Can't rate the spa as unfortunately we were too late making bookings but goes to show how good it must be, snooze you lose, lol, but will definitely be booking again. Nothing was too much for the staff who were all friendly and helpful. Location/area was great, plenty of parking. Great location for visiting surrounding areas, walks attractions, etc. Highly recommend. "
