10/10 Excellent

Allan

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
The room was clean and the staff were very helpful. We stayed in the disabled access room which was very good. The only thing we would say is the the toilet is very low for a disabled person, even with the grab bars.
Don’t be afraid…it’s wider than it looks
