    Staff were so friendly. Particularly Hazel and Frank. We had a lovely time. The hotel is very clean our family room large and amazing. The pool was clean and the kids enjoyed it too. The restaurant, the food was very tasty and well presented. The breakfast was also very good with an option to order off the menu, instead of having the buffet breakfast which we did. The whole place was lovely and all the staff friendly and loved the children,. Would highly recommend and we will be back. Thank you.
