The food was lovely with something for everyone and we visited all the different restaurants during our stay. The swimming pool area was relaxing even over the busy weekend when there were more guests on site. The gym was well equipped and the spa experience very enjoyable. It has to be said that the polite, cheerful and friendly staff really made our stay very pleasant.
