Staff was very friendly and obliging. We had an extra three year old and he was treated to free deserts along with his brothers. The hotel facilities were excellent, the food was excellent, and the children's facilities nearby were also excellent, including roller skating, a go-cart track, a games facility, and children's play area that was superb.

Everything was fantastic about this hotel. The Only small thing is the location is a bit out of the city centre but didn't bother us that much. Swimming pool was lovely & relaxing, food was fantastic both breakfast and dinner!
