    Lovely atmosphere. Staff very friendly and helpful. Busy foyer in the afternoon on arrival but staff moved through the arrivals promptly. We got up early for breakfast at 8am. Fitted in the pool before checkout. There was a queue for breakfast...

    Great spot especially if you are driving in - easy parking! Great bar- beautifully decorated, live music. I would have liked to have stayed there longer as an anchor point to drive around that area. Long but doable walk into town- we got a taxi...
