We needed a room on the ground floor at short notice as I am currently on crutches, they were so helpful and nice and we got a lovely disabled friendly studio. Everything was new, very clean, large and cosy. I can't thank everyone enough. There is also a good restaurant in the building, which we really enjoyed.

    Complex was in the perfect location for us. Was very clean and the staff allowed us to use a clothing horse that belonged to a staff member or maybe the manager just so we could dry off our beach towels overnight. Staff were wonderful and helpful.
