The concierge and staff were brilliant, can't do enough for you. We used the salon and gym, both great. ...

Great breakfast options. Staff made tremendous effort with my daughter for her 30th birthday, providing cakes for her and wishing her happy birthday. Room was clean and spacious. Pool was great size so plenty of space and poolside dining was useful.
