"Room was spacious, window didn't open but had air con . Well equipped with tea ,coffee, toiletries. Comfy bed. Disappointed with area for breakfast , very crowded. No fried eggs or black pudding but choice for continental wasn't too bad. Location was out of town center but had food and drink places nearby. Shops were around a 30 min walk away. Staff were friendly. Local taxis were not so good, . Maybe hotel could could have a company which was reliable."

"Double room in main building was very clean. There’s a fan in the room. Staff at Blossoms Restaurant offered fantastic customer service. Steak was cooked to perfection. Don’t order the cheeseboard unless you like goats cheese and other very strong cheese. We asked for mild cheeses but still got the strong stuff! The resort not suitable for people with walking difficulties as on a steep incline though there are buggies available to ferry people around."
