Positive: Amazing stay overall! The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, we couldn’t have asked for better!! It was so nice seeing a friendly face at breakfast each morning, and the whole team was always helpful. The location was very central and convenient. All amenities were regularly cleaned and refreshed. Would definitely recommend!
