Amazing rooms, spacious and comfortable not to mention cleanliness! Well done housekeeping staff! I would highly recommend this place for family getaways the staff is attentive and nothing is impossible! We had a breakfast at the café every morning and I must praise the excellent staff for being just great and making us feel at home! My nephew is a 2 year old and never had a dull moment!
