A tender retreat

professional stafflovely roomexcellent lunchpleasant breakfast
The reception staff were indeed professional. Room 230 was lovely. It was also clean. Lunch in the bar was excellent, and the staff were friendly again. Breakfast was just as pleasant. I appreciated the good variety.
I do not think residents should have to pay for parking, though the overnight parking was quite expensive.

The hotel was very clean and well kept. I saw the staff were constantly working to keep it that way. Every staff member I encountered was helpful and quick to answer my questions! The food I had was delicious and nicely presented. The swimming pool and gym were clean. I found the leisure facilities well looked after.
I did not like the room temperature. The room was too warm. I think air conditioning should be fitted in every room.
