Another lovely stay

9.69/10

The staff are friendly and helpful. We had wanted a certain room, but unfortunately did not get it. They had chosen another room which, to our delight, was much better. The hotel is very clean. Cleaning is done several times a day. This is the second time we have been here and we will come again next year.
