The hotels location is perfect. Unfortunately there isn’t very much to do around the area. The hotel room is very small and needs updating.

Great Stay
The staff were very friendly and helpful, the room very clean and comfortable with everything you need. The buffet breakfast was excellent and all items were piping hot with a good selection to choose from both hot and cold. The only thing I have a slight criticism about is that only two teabags per day were supplied. The balcony was large enough to sit out on (weather permitting) with amazing views.
