Amazing stay

9.0

Absolutely incredible stay, the staff were lovely and the view was perfect. My partner and I loved making use of the dart board in the communal area, there were other puzzles and board games for guests to enjoy as well.

− The only thing I would say is that it’s about a 20 minute walk into town with all the restaurants. However there are places to park if you are wanting to drive in.
