  Staff here are amazing.

Staff here are amazing. Polite and very hard working to keep everywhere clean. Been in to the bar again tonight for food. Last night was served by Patrick who has top notch service. Tonight I was torn between a veg balti or to try the chicken shawarma, Jake who served me recommended the balti so went with that and it was delicious and plenty of it. Patrick from the night before had seen me sat at my table and came over to check everything was ok. Both staff members today, fantastic service.

  Great pool area and gym

Lovely hotel. Good number of parking, great pool area and gym for those who wish to use it. Hope you try spa and golf activities tomorrow. Nice friendly staff
