The caring and personable staff really made the stay at this hotel a pleasure. They made an effort to customise things to your taste and were very kind with surprising free drinks when just relaxing by the pool. Would always give a wave and smile whenever they saw your leaving or returning from the building know matter how far away. Good job guys and we wish you a successful season. Ollie and Katie - 1112
