    The directions to the car park should have been provided or better signage.

    It was comfortable and it was a great location. The food was delicious. The staff was accommodating and gave us very good directions. We loved the town.

    Cold shower on my last day and the hot water generally takes about 5 to 6 minutes to reach the room. No outdoor area available other than the road. No access code given for the front door so was locked out.

    Dinners were very good. decent selection and daily specials on offer. Highly recommend the Steak baguette. Calm atmosphere and tastefully decorated. Friendly barman & waitresses. Overall good value for money

    Nice Hotel with hard working staff.

    The external facade could do with a re-think - if you were just passing and didn't know how much better it was inside, you wouldn't really be inspired to stop and go in. It's hard to identify it unless you're directly outside it - New more prominent and contempory signage would be a good investment.

    Very friendly professional staff. The food was excellent. Tasty breakfast. The decor is very pleasant inside. Clean comfortable bedroom. Easy parking just outside the door of the Hotel.

    The only thing I could say is it could do with a lick of paint but it was really clean and the rooms had tea/ coffee making facilities along with an iron and ironing board.

    We had a flight cancelled along with lots of other people on the 28th August but managed to get a room here. Collette was on reception when we arrived and she was brilliant and extremely helpful even giving us advice on the process of getting a refund from Ryanair along with the name of the form we needed, she also printed out a full receipt for us to give the airline. We went to the bar/ restaurant later and Collette was there again asking if we were ok . The food and the setting were really nice and the staff were excellent very friendly and very quick considering it was very busy.
