From the moment we arrived we felt wanted and the staff on reception couldn't have been more helpful and warm.
We were upgraded to a superior double and the room was fabulous.
The staff in the restaurants and bars were so knowledgeable and friendly that nothing was too much trouble.
Have to recommend the free trip into town in the Bentley.
A great stay and we will be back to stay again very soon.
