I thought the hotel was good. The evening meal was expensive for what it was, and I think I’d dine elsewhere. Breakfast À la carte was much better value than the buffet. I thought the À la carte breakfast was good value. The staff are very friendly and helpful and the room - whilst small, was clean and well appointed.
